tri moto help

[daniel_250r]

hi, a friend of mine has 1981 tri moto he is in need of an airbox assembly for it, there is one for an 85, will it work? thanks

[old-yellow]

No it will not because they decided to run a snorkel that passes through the 82-85 frame. They did not do that on the 80-81 frame. If you look at the picture of this airbox you can see the part that goes through the frame.

[daniel_250r]

it looks like it has a space under the seat for a flat hose, i have no proof its an 81 thats just what the previous owner said the first owner has a video of it, just to give you a picture of what year it is http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk1qLlagBfQ the guy claimed it did have a hose for a snorkel before

[nickvo]

heres one that thats for sale, he says its one for an 85 but it doesnt look like the one in the picture you posted. will this fit an 81?

[old-yellow]

yes that will fit the 80-81 frame. I am having trouble posting pictures right now

[old-yellow]

What does the decal on the side of the rear fender look like? If it is like the one in the video thats an 82-85. but that does not mean someone didn't replace the rear fender on your buddys.

here i got a few pics of the snorkel/frame, im not positive on year of my tri moto but i think its an 83

[old-yellow]

It probably needs the airbox and air cleaner to run right. By the way I suck at typing I am very very slow.

[old-yellow]

Hey, Trimotoman

your is 82-85 tri-moto

[TriMotoMan]

heres a couple more i dont have any of inside tho

[old-yellow]

Thanks a lot that shows exactly the spot I am talking about.

[TriMotoMan]

ya no problem if you need pics of the inside i can go take some

[old-yellow]

were you guys able to get pics of it?

[daniel_250r]

we found out the 85 air box will work just fine thanks for the help both of you, and we dropped the needle to spots and got it to actually move its self and have some power, although it doesnt have any bottem end from the compression being low

[old-yellow]

Will I am glad you got ever thing to work out if you need any more help let me know.
