hey guys

I'm not sure what you call these things in the airbox but I need replacement foam for them and also the one in the carb overflow filter box.

Let me know if you've any ideas on where I could get cheap replacements or what I could use instead to do the same job.

Thanks, and remember the first hurricane is probably the best bike in the world

Honestly, I don't even remember seeing that inside my airbox. Probably fine without it...

Same goes for the overflow.

 

Where to those tubes go inside the airbox? I don't have them in my bike either, but they might have been removed before I bought it along with the rest of the emissions equipment.

Mine does run perfectly fine without them though as well as the overflow which was also missing. I put a universal mini K&N type breather filter on the line for the overflow and it works fine as well.

 

hey thats interesting. The tubes are clipped to the lid of the air box straight after the rubber air intakes if that makes sense.

I'll do a little vid to show you the tubes. but it sounds like I could probably forget them.

cheers fellas

 

That is interesting.. it looks like maybe the UK bikes have a different airbox setup than the ones out here because I've never even seen those mentioned in the service manuals. Does it still take the regular flat air filter that covers all 4 carb intakes too? I don't see why you couldn't do without them as long as there is an air filter in place.

 

Only thing I can think of is it being a water guard. Maybe protects the filter from getting wet?

 

Oh I see now I was picturing something different like they went into the carb intakes.. yeah might be some kind of prefilter or water guard before the main air filter element.

 

hey guys

yeah I would say corruptfile is probably right about them being a water guard.

vid shows their location in the top of the airbox.

thanks dudes
