Changed my air box - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I switched my air box from this aftermarket one

to this mostly original air box

I had the original plastic bottom, but was missing the screws and top piece. A big thank you to Dave J. for giving me his old air box (actually only ended up using the screws, Dave. Have everything else if you would like it back)

. The top piece I did have turns out (after some looking for the original) to be an aftermarket for a 94'-95' ZR-1. They say it will fit a 90', but it turns out it doesn't quite make it. The shroud that is on top, keeps it from sliding all the way down so the screws can catch. Look at the one on the right.

So I drilled out the rivets holding it on, and wah-la, it now fits.

Problem is the paint is missing where the shroud use to be. I colored it in w/ black marker for now, lol. But eventually I'll take it to a friend, have it sanded and repainted. You can't tell unless you stick your head down in there and look.

Once I have the holes filled in where the rivets were and repainted, it should look just like an original 90' air box top. I'm sure I could just sand down the piece and paint it myself, but I can have it done cheap. Quick, easy way to turn the 94-95 part to a 90.
