 Actually, the air box was standard on all J-Hs, Dellorto and Stromberg.  The air cleaner (looks like a muffler) attaches to the air box via a ~3in hose.  There are photos in the JHP Photo Gallery one of which can be seen here:(http://jhppg.com/gallery/album40/uEng_with_Dellorto

You can also see drawings in the parts manual and service manual.

The air box serves several important functions.  One thing it does nicely is allow vented crankcase oil vapors to condense and run back into the crankcase while providing a means for the "light boiling point vapors" to be fed to the carbs.
