    1981 GS 450E Air filter element.... how does it fit in!!

    How does the 81 GS 450 element fit into the box. I bought all the components, element plastic piece ( now for some reason I have two ) unfortunately I never had the chance to see it all together. it was an empty bos when I started!!

    Thanks in advance!!

    Per the Clymer manual, fold the foam/paper element in your hand to fit it through the opening and then press the edges down to fit the element to the inside of the airbox. Do the same with the plastic frame on top of the element to hold it in place. Manual also says to lightly oil the element with engine oil.

      It's all sort of an ugly fit. It fits in at an angle after folding the plastic bits. I recall the plastic have creases to fold .

        Well I did get it in. As stated it's kind of ugly. Not such a great design.

          Agree with you, but it's functional. Btw, nice looking bike.
