    In most configurations, I believe the 2 vent tubes are to go up, over to the top of the airbox and terminate in still air, under and between about where the seat and fuel tank meet, where they should not be disturbed under normal conditions. But I suppose that even there, very strong winds from a certain direction could have an effect.

      That's how mine are configured. Im not sure if that's where the disturbance is occurring or from the opening at the bottom of the airbox. Do you know if the bottom of the airbox should be open, or if there's supposed to be a boot over the opening? I saw one airbox that had a boot that routed the intake closer to the top edge rather than taking air in from the bottom.

        Sorry, I do not know. Maybe someone else can describe or show the snorkel size/location in the stock airbox of a 82 GS1100GK
