    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...

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 replacement

I bought a 1982 gs750t as a project it didn’t come with a Airbox I found one for an 1978 Suzuki gs750 will it fit on my 82 or are they slightly different
 
You can use these bits from an '82 GS750TZ:

or from an '83 GS750TD:
https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d400caf8700230d8b4e377/air-cleaner-model-d

The 750T is a 2-year only model. The only real differences were in paint color schemes, and a few bits here and there, like the front case of the airbox of the 82 has a ribbed shape at the bottom, and the 83 front case of the airbox does not have the ribs. But pretty much everything should fit between the 2 years.

On Some sites like https://alpha-sports.com/omlib/usearchxref.php
you can put in a part number and it will show you fun things like, the rear airbox case of the 82-83 GS750T also is shared by some 1000 & 1100 models and the 83 750S.
Some of the front cases likely match as well. You'll have to do some cross checking. I just wanted to get you started.
​This could help broaden your search.

I do not think you would have much luck trying to fit anything from any pre-1980 GS750 onto your bike. Pre '80 750's had 8-valve engine. '80+ had 16-valve engines (yours). But everything in the intake from the carbs back could maybe be made to work/fit with some modification. You're kind of on your own there. I'd try real hard to find the proper parts.

Good on you for at least trying to put the proper air filtration back on this bike.

Would be nice to see another "T" saved.

Thankyou for the help I found someone with a 80s gs1000 that said I can have the Airbox to see if I can make it work if not I was going to see about selling it
 
There is a difference between the air boxes on CV of VM carbs.

I'll assume you have CV carbs and you should be able to use any airbox from a "G" series or post '79 motorcycle - post 8 valve engine.

On the engine side of the air box, Suzuki use to list the engines the air box would fit
