    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...

'82 GS 1100E Air Filter

The 1982 GS 1100E I just purchased is missing the underseat air box. The box attached to the card is still present leaving one large hole under the seat cavity.

The guy I bought the bike from said he jetted the carbs and the bike has a V&H 4 to 1 exhaust.

Right now there is no filter whatsoever. I am torn between getting the underseat stock box, which will probably be hard to locate or getting a single, large K&N (or other clamp on style filter) that would clamp on the outside of the remaining air box. The bike runs great with no filter at all.

My question is, not knowing the full history of the carbs, how would you recommend proceeding with replacing the filter set up.

Note that I have read lots of the posts on the K&N and realize there are many mixed feelings.

Thanks
 
I have a K&N that clamps right up to the front airbox. You can have it. If your bike is running well with the current setup I wouldnt change it. There are plenty of struggles to get a carb set up with pods and pipes.
 
Excellent, Ill send you a PM.

Any one have experience with the single KN mounted directly to the front air box?

I just changed the plugs, the ones that came out didnt look lean however carb work could have just been done. Ill re-check the plugs after a couple hundred miles and re-evaluate.
