Will an air box from a gpz1100 fit a 1984 gpz900?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI've been searching for awhile and can't find the answer. I have a 1984 gpz900 and can find a factory air box for it and don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get it running right with pod filters. Thanks!
Here's the air box for the gpz1100 I found

I doubt they'll swap. If I remember correctly the Gpz900 has a cam chain on the outside while the Gpz1100 has a center drive chain. This means the carbs on the 900 are spaced closer together, especially the middle two carbs compared to the 1100. Also the 1100 were fuel injected and the OD of the throttle bodies will most likely be smaller than the 900's CV carbs inlet OD.

Not saying you can't make it work, but I don't think it'll be worth the hassle.

I was worried about that. Looks like I'm gonna be living on ebay until one pops up. Thanks.

From a quick visual comparison at Partzilla the 84 ZX900 GPz airbox looks the same as the ZG1000 Concours. I have no idea if there are significant differences, such as the duct hole ID or spacing. they do share some parts, but I didn't compare everything.

An air box from an 86 gpz 900 will fit my 84 right? I found a guy locally who has one.
