    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.

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you thought of this idea. I don't know if it's been done on our bikes or not, but when I was on the Yamaha XJ bikes forum, a couple of guys would make a custom manifold out of PVC pipe and a pod filter sized right around the size of the filter originally in the airbox. Now, I have an '81 GS750L and I don't want to lean the bike out anymore than it is now. Has anyone else attempted such a feat or have any suggestions? Mind you, the finished product would not be simply white PVC, I would probably paint it black or grey to match. I was also planning to pipe it out and forward of the engine.

Here's the link to the post I'm talking about: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=212529.html

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
i have heard of people getting a green tinge on their plugs when trying to make a snorkel for 4x4 use. something about PVC not being made to handle the heat
 
My 1100 didnt come with the rear air filter box. I trimmed a piece of pvc to fit about 2-3 inches long, and fixed it to the rear of the air box, with a screw and sealant. I filed down th he other end to fit a standard size k&n filter, and ran a stage 1 jet kit ( and 4-1). Flows well, but keeps air intake stable with the collector there.

Runs great.
