Title: I need a stock airbox for my '84 FJ1100, would buy your unused one!
Post by: doughtys on March 21, 2021, 11:57:57 AM
I bought what I think is a fairly unmolested FJ1100.  Looks completely stock except for the swell Lockhart fairing lowers and pod filters.  I don't believe the carbs were modified to go with the pods, because the old girl most definitely does NOT pull like an 1100 should.  Starts and idles well, drives fine as long as you don't want thrilling performance.  Short story is that I'd like to go back to the stock air box to see if that solves the performance issue.  If you've got one lying around collecting dust-- or know someone who does, I'd sure appreciate a shout out. 

The longer story:
This bike lives at my mother in law's house down in Florida.  I don't have access to my tools or garage in Omaha. I bought the bike to ride when we visit, usually a couple times per winter when the weather is crap in Nebraska and completely awesome down there.  The bad part is that as a result, I don't have much time to fiddle with the carbs much to see if I can get things right, so here's my attempt to keep a great old vintage sport touring machine that makes me smile running strong.  Please help!

Pull carbs off and send to RPM... let them go through them to get a clean baseline condition.  They know the tune for flat or curved bottom slides with pods.This is wise money and will get you happy much faster given your limited access.

Hi Dough, still lookin for a box? I have a spare but it's gonna cost you. I'm thinkin' it's all you for the price of shipping? Hey listen, I'm just now understanding you have an 1100 & the one I have is off an '88 1200. If they are the same its yours. Let me know either way. My names Jaime & I'm in Wa. state, 98851.
