    Tri-z UFO Airbox

    I got lucky and found one in pretty good shape. Is there any interest in having it reproduced? I emailed DC Plastics but haven't heard back from them. Also, does anyone know what filter it takes? Thanks.

    Yes it is. The bike had a top mounted gas tank and low profile rear fender with a 40mm carb.

    Yep, I got it from eBay. I wanted the JT top mount tank, the other stuff was a bonus. I will try and get some pics up sometime this weekend, busy with remodeling my home.

    That looks a lot easier to repop than the Tecate UFO box I have. I would also love to get the Tecate box done, but I think it has to be dissected in order to mold all the pieces and I don't feel right cutting it apart.

    I think it would be really awesome if DC plastics could make the JT top mount tank re-pop. I dont know if they have to cut it up, I dont think so....

    Does it only work with the gas tank repositioned to the airbox? I would buy a reproduction so long as it doesn't. I suspect the stock setup is not as free flowing as it could be and this might be a good solution. I would definitely buy a reproduction of a UFO airbox for the first generation Tecate.

    Thing with the tanks i took it to a place to have a perfect rep made they wanted 5-550 to redo the alum tank. The dang bung for the cap was the most $$$ part.
