Can anyone help me with a question on my rebuild?
I am at the point where I'm about to fit the air filter box, and connect the side air boxes to the carbs. I noticed from a photo in a book on RZ500's that there is a white brace bar which the air filter housing bolts to. My 1984 RZ500 doesn't see to have this, so I'm wondering if it's missing or it doesn't require it on this model? See the photo of the book below and mine (before I stripped it down).
Cheers.

Re: Air Filter box question
I think its missing as the mounting boss is on your air filter box (rear side center, the big boss on the upper airbox case).
Check if there is a thread in the hole, it`s mounted with a thread self cutting screw, if it was never installed it should be a hole without a thread iside.

Thanks. I think it is missing actually. I've been searching for one on eBay, but not much joy. Can you buy them anywhere do you know? I've seen a job lot on eBay which includes the air box assembly, but the seller won't split the auction.

I'll check to see if I still have a spare one
