    A note to old forum members...
    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...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

air box missing

Hi Everyone,
I've read alot of threads (thru the search option) on this topic and didn't find this situation. This is what I have.....
1981 GS750L, WITH the air box that connects to the carbs, but WITHOUT the air filter box.
After reading all the threads about rejetting for 4 individual pods (doesn't sound like fun) and not wanting to drop $100 on a new air filter box. This is what I thought of.

What if I found a filter that would mount to the back of the air box that connects to carbs ? The filter would under the seat near the place it would've been as stock, only exposed.
Do you think re-jetting would still be required ?

Rather get a complete unit from a junk yard, unless you have patience, perserverance and knowledgable friends in abundance! Try to keep stock otherwise you start losing the design reasons for the stock setup and have to start experimenting.

so, you're missing #14 and want to atach a filter directly to the airbox
i think as long as you have the stock exhaust you should be fine as far as jetting goes, may only need to add a little mixture at idle (pilot mixture screws)
but, generally, i'm with matchless on this one - go stock if you want to be shure and are not inclined to experiment
 
That's right I'm missing #14. Thanks, I might try it, when I get to that point. In the mean time I'll try and locate an inexpensive air filer box.
 
I'm returning to this because it's mentioned in this thread about the stock exhaust. My 81 GS750L has a 4-1 exhaust (trashed) Is 4-2 stock? I just looked on one of the online catalogs and it show 4-2.
Thanks
 
Hey Larry,
I think I have a spare filter box in my garage. If I do..you interested in it?? Send me a PM and we can work out the details.
