    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.

Airbox Cage?

Well, I got my airbox off ebay for really cheap, but I think I overpaid. This is what they had for filtration:

So now what? I figure that I can't use it because the uni filter (which, by the way, has been wrapped a second time by similar filter material) has the two holes that mount it to the stock cage. Any bright ideas? Can I just throw it in as it is?

What year style air box did you end up buying?
A 80-81 or 82 and up. I have both style cages and the earlier air boxes. Pm me
 
Did they show that crappy cage in the ad? If not, log onto ebay promptly and file a dispute: "Item not as described".

Holy cow! That's nasty. What kinda bike you got that's an 80-82? How much difference in buying an OEM part?

EDIT: Nevermind...I see it's an 850G.

If you're talking about the cage, they don't really have it listed since they generally came with the airbox itself. I couldn't find it listed anyway.
The filter is honestly in good shape. It's an Unifilter. They just put another layer of filter over it, which isn't glued into place or anything. Just put on.
I'm talking with Hjfisk about buying one from him.
