Well the title says it all. I put in a K&N and I get some serious bogging and I'm wondering if it's just sucking to much air.

Yes, I did install the the restricter with the filter.

I get some serius "herky / jerkies" when in 5th gear at about 50 MPH.

Dude - you need to rejet a stock GS ... I get jerkies on all of them.

If you are having that problem then i would say a rejet is in order.  You can search for the jets sizes and everything cause none of them are coming to me right now.  I still have a bone stock bike so i havn't had to mess with anything in the carbs myself yet, knock on wood.

Yes you do. The Gs is already lean as it is....add in a larger air flow and a rejet is in order.
Peace
