        Will that fit on a stock airbox for my 77 GS750.. all there is is the regtangular hole in the back f the airbox right now. I looked at bikebandit and there is supposed to be a air intake of some sort back there.. if so how much you asking??/

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          That would be the dreaded "missing snorkel"

              Yep, that's it. I haven't heard from the guy this morning though.

              Chuck...I sent you a PM.

              Thanks.

                Larry, is that the one you are getting or a spare? They are a bit of a PITA to put in unless you go ahead and split the airbox. Brian posted a while back about the rubber seal that is in between the two halves, he re-sealed his. I split mine when I installed the snorkel and the seal was OK but it made installing the snorkel a LOT easier with access to the back side to pull the back flange over the cutout. I also put a dab or two of contact cement on it so it cannot come off although I think most snorkels get taken off in the "I dont need this" or misguided search of "more power". It doesnt look like much but with the shape of it and the center having the split it looks to me like it creates some kind on venturi similar to the carb inners. I do know without it and even with some tape to cut back on the total opening size my bike did not run quite right untill I found one and put it in.

                  This is the one I'm getting. Actually trying to trade the guy for some other parts I have.
                  Thanks for the tip !!!
