New to me '81 XS400 Special - Air Filter Question

[SteveBeyer]

I know... "let's see the bike!". So I'll start there. Picked this up for my Wife. It's her first bike.

First order of business is the Air Box. There isn't one. Or any Pods. PO made his own filter. I think I've found someone on here with a stock box but I want to be triple sure I get everything I need. So school me. Where do I go from here?

LOL if it is running well now, pods may be a better way to go since the carbs were already jetted to have WIDE open air filters.

you should most definitely crack the carbs open and give them a GOOD cleaning. Im sure they have sucked in a good amount of crap.

where is the crankcase vent tube running to?

WELCOME! its a nice looking moto

Welcome The stock H-pipe and some uni filters would be a good setup. It also looks like your missing some mufflers.

 

[SteveBeyer]

Yeah I got the mufflers handled though. Do you know the part number of the uni filters that would work?

 

[Sesty]

there are many uni filters that will work. just need to fit over the carb mouths... 54mm i believe...

if you have the H pipe might need to get angled uni's to get around the battery box, but not sure.

i got a straigh 3in pair off ebay or amazon..
