Greetings,
I have recently exchanged a few emails with a fellow from Australia regarding the installation of a new airfilter. He ended up have to undo the carbs in order to get it together. On his 74 Commando the front airbox panel has some good sized metal tubes welded to the inner surface which prevented him from sliding it between the carbs and the filter element. I checked on my 74 850 and my panel had no such tubes. He has recently been told that the tube addition was called a "mute". Which I assume was added at some point in Commando production to perhaps quite induction noise??? Could any of you knowledgable folk share any info on this matter?
Thanks,
GB
