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...

Aftermarket air filter GS 400 '77

I just recently bought a GS 400 from '77. To my great dismay the previous owner has completely removed the airbox, and have instead opted to install aftermarket air filter pods directly on to the carburetor.
I am quite new to owning a GS, and I was wondering if any of you had any advice whether or not I should go trough the trouble of finding an original/similar airbox assembly, or simply live with the ugly aftermarket air filter pods?

Thanks in advance!

Given how many rip airboxes off and go pods, it shouldn't be too hard to find an airbox.

However, if the pod filters are good ones (APE or K&N) then just make sure it's tuned to suit and they'll be fine.

Edit: PS, welcome to the forum :)

Just maybe,maybe, maybe, the PO rejetted for pods- no matter whether you find an airbox or stick with pods, you have to find out if jetting changes were made.
