    The 82 850 does have a cage, and it's different from the early 850 cage - has a spring clip instead of a screw tab. I know this because my 850 was missing it's filter and I went around and around getting a cage to install a K&N in the airbox. And sorry to sound negative but don't hold your breath regarding Uni tooling up to make a cage, particularly since K&N doesn't provide one and most people swapping over to a Uni/K&N, already have the cage.

    Hope you find what you need and good luck.

        my opinion, a stock 850 is fine the way it is.
        Agreed, and if anyone should know about squeezing every little bit of power out of a stock 850, its Brian Wringer. You really should see him ride sometime, its quite the site to behold. I got to see it once, for about a .10 of a mile....

          Why? How would annoying people be fun?

          Quiet -- good.

          Loud -- bad.

          It's that simple.

              It's a very diferent kind of loud.

              Plus the biggie for me is the weight. Ride a stock setup, then ride one with a 4 into 1, it handles like a different bike with that 30 pounds or so taken off. That being said I LOVE the look of a beautiful stock bike. It's just different and each has it's place.

                  Yes, and I don't have one. I only have a UNI foam filter. Just foam. It floats around in the air box. The air going to the carbs can slip right past it. But thank you for the picture reference.
