Z1000 Airbox question
Posted: Mon May 28, 2007 8:38 pm
So I've just acquired a nearly complete airbox assy for my 77 KZ1000A1 (cheers Kev 
). When I looked at the Z power parts book I noticed that the illustration shows that the A1 airbox has a recess on the front face into which a mounting plate seats, holding the 4 inlet rubbers in place (this is secured by 8 panhead screws). See photo below - this is a 77 airbox currently on Ebay.
However, my box has a flat 'flush' front face, with no recess or plate. The inlet rubbers aren't fitted at present but it looks like they locate directly into the 4 holes in the front face of the box (there are two larger diameter 'rings' moulded in the rubbers which hold them in the holes). The airbox I have has two id numbers on the front face:
KH1 DGM 31311 S and beneath that: KH1 DGM 33280 S
Apart from the front face, the whole assy looks almost identical to the one in the picture.
Soooo... I'm just wondering whether my new airbox is perhaps from a later 1000 model and whether it'll fit my A1 OK.
