I pulled the rigger on that airbox, good experience with the seller (it's where I got the motor for this Breva), but while installing the airbox yesterday and trying to nudge the tube slot onto the airbox a crack appeared on the tube itself: they are rotted too.

Crazy idea but hear me out: a shrink-tube sleeve over the intake tube itself to try and seal/reinforce the thing?

I realize this is in deepest left field but since the GU05114430 is discontinued and pod filters are verboten....I'm trying to think outside of all the boxes

Because of the ridges, heat-shrink is unlikely to seal it, but may reinforce it.

Do you have a cracked one to send to Clauss Studios to be reproduced? If you don't want to deal with it, send one to me and I'll have it done.

I escape Facebook to here because of AI images. It’s too conveniently fake of a world these days.

Sorry to have disrupted the sanctuary of authenticity...

I’ve been using this one for 2 years on the BMW R80 rig. Doubles as a multi-USB port:



Not sure why the polarity is switched on the male-female ends, making you have to use that male-female converter that’s included.

I second this one! I have mine connected to switched power (the old fuel solenoid/shut off plug on my Bassa). They are not super accurate, but enough to monitor a trend and hopefully catch something if voltage starts to drop precipitously.

The OEM (I'm presuming) Anakee Adventures on the 2020 I just bought this summer need to be replaced, think I'm going to try the Shinko 705s

YES!! ($531.25 needed for 2026!!)

I only tally things up at the end of the month. I believe we've likely met the goal for the year as far as basic services go. Anything extra that shows up will be put into the upgrades account.

Thanks everyone,
Luap
