    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.

Just bought this little gem. I'm going to need a stock airbox if anyone knows the whereabouts of one reasonably priced.
 
Looks like you have a nice one there, I've owned one of it's cousins since '83. May i interject on the airbox issue? Those have a terrible airbox assembly, cross-winds at certain angles would lean it out so bad it would almost stop running. I changed mine over to pods in '85 and never regretted it. Plus if you find an airbox they are hard to install with the engine in the frame, it can be done if you undo all the motor mounts and tilt it a little.

OK thank you. Do you have the information on the jets to use with the pods? This does have the stock exhaust.

Dyno-jet kit, mine has a yosh pipe on it. Stage one kit will work fine for you.
 
kingofvenus: seems like some great info that will save a guy from a lot of headache trying to install the OEM air box.

I looks like you have to buy a kit for about $113. Do you know if there is any way to buy just what is needed for this application? (I still have to tear down the carbs--they obviously need cleaning badly. The bike seemed to run okay so I rode it to the gym this morning and almost got stranded on the way back. I'm looking forward to it. Weird huh)?
 
It's the slide needles in the kit that makes it work so well. And that is the only way to get some, unless somebody has a set laying around. If i had some, i'd let you have them.
