What size RM? The 84 125 & 250 have a single side airbox and the 500 has a dual side airbox.

Wanted Twin Air Brand Airbox for 1984 Suzuki RM
Doesn't matter what model,
1 x 125
1 x 250
1 x 500
My eldest Son was born in 1984 and we are building some trick 1984 RMs for him to race,
Yes the stock Airbox is fine but I want these bikes to be the best,
I have a water cooled RM 500 engine going into an 84 250 frame so the TwinAir is appropriate,
I remember being at the SUZUKI launch of the 84 models (Peter Wood from WMW fame wore a Honda Jacket).

So you want an airbox for a 84 250...Different frame to 81-83 250
I doubt twin air made an airbox for the 84 250 so you'll probably have to get the twin air for the 81-83 250 or 81-85 465/500 and make it fit.. If that makes sense

Been there tried that. You'd want to have very, very deep pockets, a bucketload of enthusiasm and a dump truck load of patience. Nonetheless, I'd really like to see one done.

Built it and a 550cc version for Jeff Leisk to ride the Motorcycle Masters at Eastern Creek in 1991
The 550 ran twin 28mm flat slide carbs developed by Suzuki Country Racing.
It was really really fast and was geared for 230 kph, only one problem that we didn't find on the Dyno was the vibration at that speed, Liesky hated it so he rode Steve Galls spare bike which I also owned and beat Steve with his spare bike.
I also lent the bike to one of Mladins friends to ride at Oran Park in 1993.

An average one with a cut out cover for US$999
Last one I saw was about UKĀ£60 but I didn't want one then now I do
Johnny O I am sure I have seen one for a 1984 RM125/250 but it might have been a works Airbox not Twin Air or WP.
I certainly remember the Twin Air sticker on the cover,
I will look through my library of RA RH and RN photos to see if I can find it.

Im assuming that when you refer to a RM500 water cooled engine your referencing an LT500R engine.
