Thanks Shiny! Here's hoping, very curious if the air box sans gaping holes will ease the tuning trouble I've been having.

Here is the bottom.I can get a pic of the inside if you need it.Not a problem. I took one of these boxes off a '76F,so I know they will fit that model.

Pat, how much surface rust is on the inside of those? Also, is that a weld seem at the top on the left ear(the one on the right in the photo)?

I have a 78K in the works-"Hackjob"-it had a silver tank on it.Could be what you're thinking about.

My silver bike is a 76F- "Water Buffalo"

What do you need measured? I'll trade both of these boxes for a nice Interceptor!
