    Hey guys, I recently installed my Airbox on a 1980 Maxim that I purchased. I can see that I am still missing a connection and with some research I figured that I need a crankcase breather hose. However, I feel that there is more than just a hose involved. Does anyone have a picture or list of parts that attach the airbox to the Crankcase.

    I am completely new with the bike and cannot find a straight answer about this system works.

    So, do I simply connect a hose from the crankcase to the airbox... or is there a filter involved.. etc..

    any help is greatly appreciated!
    THanks!!

    Here is a list: aluminum breather pipe (about 1.5" long, inserts into top rear of shifter side cover), hose, air box connection, 2 clamps. That's it! See Chacal for parts, reasonable $.
