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??/Last edited by chuck hahn; 12-05-2009, 12:14 AM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

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.

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.82 GS850L - The Original http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/d...ePics067-1.jpg
