I have personally witnessed two different length
airbox to dual carb rubber boots. The original one on
my bike was the long one and a "new" one (I don't
remember where I got it) was too short by an inch and
a half or so.

Zer,
I was talking to Tom about this as he sent pics of
his boot to me and I do
see that it smacks right up tight to the airbox.
Either my airbox is too
far back or my engine too far forward!! Seriously,
I wonder if the inakes
on the ends of the carbs are to short. I got the
bike this way from the
Dealer and the previous boot that was on there was
also duct taped, a real
mess so I bought a new boot but it was still not
right. I will continue to
investigate. Thanks, Bob

Hmm. maybe something is bent somewheres. When I
bolt up the airbox the
boot
 is very tight against the airbox.

Zer,
I'll look at my rubber sleeve again but mine is
pretty far from the air
box
 
 and is not square to it either. And, I have
tried flipping the rubber
 
 sleeve to see if I had it on in reverse. Still
askew and too far. But,
 
 something to do during snow days. Thanks. Bob

clear silicon adhesive/sealer. much better.
excess can be wiped away
 
 with
a
 finger. and you can barely see any excess
anyow.
 
 
 
pull the battery. undo the two bottom bolts on
the air cleaner and
just
 
 
 loosent eh top bolt. then you can use your
finger to goo the lip of
the
 
 boot
 then swing the cleaner housing back into
place and bingo.

Bob,

There is another alternative that you might
want to consider. Gary
 
 Cheek
 
 and I have glued the rubber air boot on our
bikes to the airbox using
 
 
 
 weatherstrip adhesive, and so far it is
working quite well. The
biggest
 
 
 
 tricks were getting everything in position
prior to applying the
glue,
 
 
 
 and getting the boot and airbox squeeky clean
for the adhesive. I had
a
 
 
 
 new boot and a freshly powder coated airbox
to work with, so I just
 
 
 
 installed the boot, trial fitted the airbox,
and cleaned their mating
 
 
 
 surfaces with solvent alcohol. The extra glue
was removed with a bit
of
 
 
 
 naptha (handwarmer fluid).

I thought about the inner sleeve trick
myself, let us know how it
works
 
 
 
 if your decide to go that way.

Currently I have the traditional air

rubber thingy is connected

want to do is fix the
weak

to

collar that attaches to the

out and into the rubber
 
 sleeve

around the rubber sleeve and

this make sense? I'd
