    questions aboout air box

    i just bought a 80 750 L off of my friend, we replaced the stock air filters with k&n air pods and he lost the air boxes so does anyone know if where i can get one and if it fit the air pod with it?

    Welcome !!

    Not sure what you're trying to do. Do you have individual pods on each carb ? If so, there's no need for any airbox.....

    It's my belief that going as close to stock as possible is the best way, with both airboxes and stock jetting.

      yes i have individual pods on each carb. it was like this when i bought the bike and i dont have a garage so the air box would help keep the water outof the carb

        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.

            I agree with Larry.

            There are two types of "toys" IMHO.
            1. Those that are bone stock, best with survivors and low mileage units OR
            2. Those that will never see stock again (modded to the hilt)

            Done correctly, I love them both...

              If the bike came with the pods I would wonder if the carbs have been jetted-Do you have the stock exaust on it?? I run pods and havnt run into any rain issues...not riding in down pours either though..haha

                Open those carbs up and see what the jetting is. While you're in there do a complete cleaning.

                    Greetings and Salutations!!

                    Hi Mr rhalt1,

                    You'll have to shop for an airbox in the "Parts Wanted" and "Parts for Sale" sections here in the forum or on Ebay. Your new pods will not fit inside the stock airbox. You'll have to use a stock air filter. Now let me say "HOoooooooDY!"....

                    Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

                    Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike!

                    Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

                    Thank you for your indulgence,
