    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

getting a long lost 1985 gs550e a friend had in the shed for years.

got it started today but it wont stay running, the carbs were cleaned but maybe not good enough, other problem is the stock airbox is gone, so the carbs are open to the outside . was thinking maybe wont stay lit cause its too much air, so i need a new airbox. long story short question.

will the airbox from a 1985 gsx550ef fit a 1985 gs550e , i think it might be the same box but wanta make sure before buying it
 
I'm pretty sure they will interchange. Babbits lists both airbox assemblies as13700-43413. You should be good to go.

Hi Mr. gothera,

If the part numbers are the same (there is a procedure for comparing part numbers on my website) then it should fit just fine. Thank you Mr. Toga. :)

Anyway, I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
