PO had done away with the vacuum switch that goes from the reed valves to the air box. There is one hose that just connects each reed valve cover to each other. That leaves a big hole in the air box. Just wondering if I plug the hole? I can't imagine what harm it would cause and it plugs the fresh air source to the carbs.
Don't fix it until it's broken.

This is how I got rid of the hole on my 750 airbox.
