Hi Tato, can you measure the filter base 'duck foot' top hole that item 21 fastens around, side to side and front to back and I'll check.
I have a 'snorkel' bit, but it's not perfect. I'll get some pics later.

Pm me your email address and I'll send some pics Tato.
I only have the early style duck foot to the carbs for the J/K bikes, which is no good for the later linked carburettor models, but the snorkel I have is the same as your picture.

The snorkel is on it's way, but remember that the early and late 'Duck foot' that goes to the carbs are very different and are not interchangeable as the airbox 'hole' is a different size.
Please don't tell anyone how much I made you pay as I have a reputation to keep! ;)
And despite what the german pimmelkopf dealer reckons on the link you sent me, the 380 and 550 ones are very different as the 550 engine is wider, so the carbs are further apart.
Unfortunately, I don't have a later (linked carbs) duck foot. Several both types airboxes and early duck 'feet' though, which doesn't help much......

Told you the guy was a pimmelkopf.
I wonder if you could make an adaptor plate out of aluminium so that an early duck foot could be used with a late airbox? No one would be able to tell unless they looked VERY closely.

Exactly Alan. I'm thinking about some kind of adapter too. If I can't get to buy one, I have some plans for such an adapter. Maybe I will use an old type of airbox for this purpose. I will make an adaptor from an older type airbox base. :cry: :lol:

Something like this:
