    1982 xj550 38k. Picked this one up for $50. I am not familiar with these at all. P.O. apparently wanted to go with pods, abandoned the project with carbs off no tank, no seat and no AIR BOX or filter element. I would like to return it to factory specs but cannot find an airbox for the 550. Do any other xj models share the same box? I am unable locate any previous threads on this topic. Thanks ahead for your time.

    XJ550 Maxim and XJ550 Seca models have airboxes that look the same, but they are a bit different. It might be possible to use an XJ550 Maxim airbox on a Seca model....maybe, I've never test-fitted the interchange.

    The XJ550 Maxim shares the same airbox with the 1986-90 YX600 Radian models.

    All other models.....XJ or not........will not work in the 550 frames.
