Does the 78 GS1000 share airbox with any other models?

[mattfeet]

Looking to pick up an OEM airbox to put on my Gs1000 as it has K&N pods on it now. There are a few on ebay for ~$100 but there are 850 airboxes for less than half of that. Any help is appreciated!

I'll trade you. Pretty sure I've got the 78' setup here some where.

I assume you need both halves, the connector, plus an air filter

I've got a 79 air box complete with K&N insert, only difference from 78 is chromed sides on the manifold box

But, I'll wait for AZR to get back to you first

Only the 78 +79 GS 1000 and maybe the 79 850 airboxes are the same

3rd in line with complete airbox for K&N swap. Have either 78 or chrome available.

You guys go ahead, I'm not even sure I have a complete good set.

Go ahead and step up

I'm not interested in swapping

I tried looking it up on a cross-reference, but since it is no longer available, it did not show.

However, one thing that I can guarantee is that, unless your 1000 is an '80 or '81 1000G, the 850 airbox will NOT fit.
Looking at the question in the thread title, it is apparent that you have a chain-driven 1000, so don't bother looking at any airboxes for shaft-driven bikes.

lets see a pic of those k&n's. I have a 78 airbox and also have an extra chrome middle box if that is needed.

Dang that is a nice looking bike. Curious why you want to change back from Pods? Want to trade your jets for the stock jets too?

[chuck hahn]

If you dont want the pods Greg..or for any other reason the deal doesnt pan out...Matt just PM me and I will give you the number to a former member that maybe can hook you up.

Well, I have a dynojet Stage 3 kit incoming that Ill try out before swapping. I just know its almost always easier to get carbs running right with the stock airbox, so i assumed I may be better off running stock. Im going to give the Dynojet kit a whirl and see where Im at with that before I decide definitively. The bike is a great ten footer for now. Those pics make it look nicer than it is but overall Im very pleased. Just picked it up last week.

Ok just PM or call if you decide you want to do the trade. I am in no hurry, and actually have some cheapo pods sitting in wait anyway. Many other projects to do right now anyway.

[mattfeet]

What do you think about my line of thinking? In case we end up trading, do you mind to post up pics of your airbox with the chrome?

I will try to get out and rummage through the bin today and snap a pic...although if you are wanting to make your bike look stock I believe you need the 78 airbox don't you?
