    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.

I have a 79 gs850gn
P.O. swapped pods in without rejet. I cant seem to find an air box from a 79 anywhere. Bike bandit shows 79 & 80 have different part #. I have a line on one from an 80. Has anyone tried this swap? what are the differences?
 
You may also want to try other models. I don't know if theone thqt you are looking for will work or not. I know that with some things, there is similarity among other models of the same year.
 
Hi Mr. four_shot,

The '79 and '80 GS850s had different carbs. You may have to be patient and keep looking on ebay. If you have a local listings on craigslist.com, cycletrader.com, etc, you can check for parts or bikes being parted out there too. There was a parts bike in my area recently going for only $100, but I didn't pounce on it quickly enough. Good luck.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

These should be the models you're looking for to find a compatible air box.
