    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...

    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.

Of course I'm new and apolgize for the previous thread without a title. I aquired a 1981 GS 850 a few weeks ago. There is currently a plastic air box with no markings on it with and no filter on the bike. The previous owner thought the air box was for a GS 1000. He had also purchased two more air boxes but one was a ripoff from e-bay that was gutted. The other is very nice but when I tried to put it on the boots were impossible to get onto the carbs. After some measuring the rip off airbox with what looks like original stamped susuki gs 750, 850 and 1000 measures 11.5" to the outside of the two outside holes. The plastic box is 11.75" and the nicer box measures 11.25. What should the right box should measure? Even more confusing is the boots that he collected, straight, offset right, offset left. Can someone help me??? The # stamped on the motor is GS 850 139753 Thanks for any help!!!
 
Well, let's see what an '81 GS850 AIRBOX is suppose to look like.

I just researched your year bike and see a similarity with the '78/750. Here is the thread I am talking about: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=207057&page=2

So, based upon this...I would suggest you compare this IPB to the actual AirBox you have. (I've referenced IPB definition in the thread)

This one has a resevoir with an exit tube unlike the 1978 version.

I may have one for you. I have one off an 82 850. Doesn't fit my 750. Too big
