84 might be close. go to kawasaki.com, owner info, parts diagrams, search airbox on 83 then compare to 84 box.hth, K.

Located in warrington near manchester.
  i use a microfiche on a site called cmsnl. i dont fully trust the microfiche though;     allballs didnt do a suspension linkage bearing kit for the 1983 but they did for a 1984. i checked the microfiche and the bearing part numbers were the same for both years - so i presumed 83 and 84 linkage bearings were the same. However the 84 bearings are 2mm smaller in diameter!!
 
  Does anyone know if a kx250 airbox is the same as the 500? found one for ?50.00 but not sure if it will fit. it also has extra air holes drilled in it.

Go to partpitstop.com; their website has exploded drawings and part numbers going back to 1966 Kawasakis.
