If the airbox is missing, finding a complete replacement is going to be difficult.Richardb98 wrote: I need part 1-3. And yeah I'll try and scavenge up some foam tomorrow.
The airbox cap is even harder to find --- usually it's broken or missing.
Someone over at the kawasakimotorcycle.org site posted a how-to for making a 440 airbox from a RadioShack project box. There is a youtube video. Image text added by me.
Use ABS cement to weld the plastic together. regular pvc cement may not work.
ABS cement & adapter ring should be available at the hardware store or plumbing supply.
The air filter is probably 44 or 45mm. Or maybe 48mm. ???
PS: next time, instead of steel wool, use brillo pads. I have a photo somewhere. :laugh:

I think you'd need to oil it with a motorcycle air filter oil.
When installing the airbox, treat the cap with care as the thing apparently tends to break.
Also, make sure the cap is installed properly --- the check is to pull up on the back of it gently --- it shouldn't move (don't break it).

To check that the airbox cap is properly secured, gently pull up on the back of the cap. I think it's supposed to fit into some grooves on the airbox --- fit the cap in place then attach the screws. If done wrong, you'll have a big vacuum leak.
I think you'd need to oil the air filter with a motorcycle air filter oil.
