    1980 Airbox Question

    Can someone with a 1980 Airbox answer a question for me? The airbox itself, where it connects to the carbs... All I have is 4 tubes coming out of the airbox, and 4 clamps. I'm looking at the microfiche and it appears that I may be missing some kind of hose? This makes sense since I cant figure out why there would be only a seal created by plastic on metal.

    Can someone please confirm? (Does anyone have any pictures?)

    Thank you.

    Eh, I think I figured out the problem. Those plastic things ARE the hoses. They're really hard and warped. I am also thinking that they airbox is partially warped.

    Time to start looking for new parts or researching the airbox vs pod debate to see which would be easier

      At one time those plastic tubes were flexable rubber. With age they become hard. I would lose the airbox, get pods and a Dynojet kit.
