    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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 piece

Ok, this is very strange question, might not even been in the correct section, but this seemed as good as any. I am missing the plastic cone piece that is supposed to fit inside the air filter element in the air box. Instead of buying a new one like a sane person would do, I thought it would be both fun, and some good fabrication welding practice for me to create my own in welding class. However I have been unsuccessful in finding some measurements to go off of. So, could somebody provide me with some dimensions, or would I be better served in the learning process by figuring it out based only off the air box I have?
 
Huh? "plastic cone in the air filter"?
What model and year of bike?
 
apologies, it is a 1982 Suzuki gs650gl.
and all the pics i have seen have had a conical looking piece that is supposed to fit inside the actual air filter to keep it's shape when in the box. I don't have one and wanted to try and make one. :D
 
Can you not just buy a plastic funnel of applicable size? maybe nip the spout off and cover the hole left over. That will give you something to start with that you can attach some kind of mount to with rivets.
