I think the airbox that Erik, myself and others have, was open as standard. There is no evidence of cutting and the air tubes attach to the airbox which then directs the airflow across the top of the filter. See pic attached.
Mine is a 94 MY with the black footrest hangers and frame colour suspension hoop.

My Strada is a late model too, and the airbox is the same as yours. I don't think that hole in its top was there originally though! Check out the illustrations in your manual and you'll see it should have a solid lid.

Looks interesting!

My 851 has never had the pipes from the front fairing fitted. Will it make much difference to power if I put them on? ( I have termi's fitted to bike.)

I was told by Woods that the bikes run rich anyway and don't neeed a chip.

Who is right?

Any advice appreciated.

Sorted the airbox today. I found that just removing the lid seemed a good bet, didn't want to cut it as bits are so hard to find now.
The ITG filter atys perfectly in place using just a thin strip of gaffa tape round all 4 sides.
The air pipes i've left in situ and the ends just point in the general direction of the filter!
Douglas, how come yours has the pipes going into the front lower half of the airbox whereas mine had them going into the back at the top???

The pre 93/94 models with the closed airbox had the pipes just ending near the airbox. The models with the open top airbox lid had the pipes entering the airbox.
In both cases the airbox is not pressurised by the front air intakes. This only came with the 916.

Hm, well mine is a '93 model, with a closed airbox, and it has the pipes actually entering the lid of the airbox, at the back. Eh?
