1982 KZ550C3.
This is the exact filter I am trying to replace.
www.z1enterprises.com/ItemDetails.aspx?i...2900&item=EM12-92900
The box is clearly marked KZ550C.
I cannot get the top piece of the air box, the piece with two slotted screws to fit properly with this filter in the airbox. The air filter seems too large in almost every dimension to fit properly in the airbox.

Does your old filter have a part # on it?

Good Fortune!
Ya the filter is placed towards the front of the airbox. #11012 will not fit properly with the filter in the airbox.

The airbox is the right one. It is stamped KZ550A,C.
Just surprised this Z1 filter will not fit.

No. The link in the OP is the filter I have.
