81 gs650e

[asthecrowspins]

I recently picked up an 81 650E that needs a bit of refurbishing. I'm having trouble finding an airbox (an airbox cover, specifically), but I have found one for an 82 GS 550. From the photo it looks like the cover is the right size/shape... Anyone out there familiar enough to guess if this cover will fit my airbox? Thanks-

I have a GS550 and fitted a 650 airbox to it, it fitted fine. If you want measurements then I can give them to you. Between the two diagonally opposed threaded holes that hold the lid on would be best.

Alphasports lists them as different #'s.

Alphasports lists them as different #'s.

Alphasports also lists these as two different part numbers:



13700-45030 and 13700-45051

One is for a '80 GS850G and the other is for a '81 GS1000G.
Go figure.

Daniel as I said before give me your measurement between the two screw holes on the top of your airbox.

Hi Don, thanks a lot. Finally got a minute to measure; it's about 6" diagonal between holes. Sound about right?

Brendan I checked tonight and mine is 6" approx. between screw holes as well, so looks like it will fit.

Give it a try, particularly if you can get one at the right price.

the piece I'm looking at dropped in price, so I'm definitely gonna give it a shot. thanks Don, and thanks all for the responses-
