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.

Bracket missing in air filter housing - Solution?

So I recently scooped up an air box assembly off of ebay. got it in the mail today and while cleaning it up realized that the securing brackets needed for the actual air filter were missing from the filter housing.

Anyone know of a way around this or some type of resolution? I hate to have to order ANOTHER filter housing but the way it sits right now, the filter will just flop around in the housing with nothing securing it against the port.

I thought about some heavy gauge steel wire twisted really tight but then realized that was pretty half-assed. Thought about drilling a hole through the filter housing and bolting the filter to it but then realized that would get in the way of the airbox. I'm still brainstorming but haven't come up with a solution yet... :-k
 
For what model?

For what model?

I have an air box off a GS1000 and it's a bit trashed, but has the clip in there, I could remove it and mail it for you, if it will fit.
 
We usually have to remind the new guys to "put your bike in your signature so we know what you are talking about".

In your case, we will just have to ask "which ONE of your bikes are you talking about?"
