1980 V50II air box

Technical Small Block V Twins (not new V7s)

Hi

I am restoring a V50II and am trying to fix the original air Box the front end is attached by a bracket which I have however the rear end nearest the battery has no bracket and I can’t see on the parts catalogue or manual how it is attached can anyone help with a photo or advise on how to fix it

On my old 850 I think it was the rubbers from the carbs that supported the box plus the pipes that connected to the engine?

Many thanks I think there is a metal support inside the air box and the carbs do support the box externally :+1:

There is no bracket at the rear of the Airbox It is supported by the snorkels or manifolds; whatever you want to call them Carb’s; from the Carb’s.

Regards, Nik
