1990 YZ80 Airbox Cleaned Up

Refurbished YZ80A Air box.

Look at this air box, it's so nasty inside and out that it's a wonder if it'd ever been cleaned. You should see the filter that was in there. The whole thing was disassembled and given a good cleaning. The chrome metal retaining band on far left seems to be a factory mistake and made backwards. The recessed groove that by looking, should go over the rubber air boot to seal it to the air box housing, but when installed it is with groove up instead of down. In the picture it is not oriented with the air filter retaining ring, flip it in your mind and it goes together but as said the flange is wrong. Enlarge picture for closer view.


Here we have the air box all cleaned up and the rubber pieces look new again, even have the mud flap refurbed and installed. I keep my secret on how to do the rubber parts, and no it's not that product your thinking of.
