    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

AGS550 Airbox reinstatement

Hey there,

I'm resurrecting a 1979 GS550, that the came with pods on. They are prety knackered and it doesn't run that well. I am going to take it back to an airbox. I've bought one, nd it seems to have quite a few things mounted to it judging by the amount of bolt holes.

Can anyone post some pics or one in situ to help me along?
 
^^^ What Rich said! Also the exploded views on the parts fische are sometimes quite helpful, I use babbittsonline.com quite a bit.
 
Just to doublecheck, is the airbox also from a '79? Just asking because the '77 has slightly diferent dongles, so does an '80...
 
There is not much mention of the air cleaner in the factory manual. Just a page on how to remove the element. On the babbits website it shows the air cleaner in isolation.

Any pics anyone?
 
Can we see what you bought so we can help explain it? The top and bottom holes on the plenum will match up to the airbox itself while others will have the fuse block, starter solenoid, regulator, rectifier, and such
 
FYI: The carb clearance is really tight for the 550, so expect a very frustrating time getting the cabs back in there. Try it before you bolt the airbox in place.
