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

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

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.

Gentlemen,
Currently I have the traditional air

the

duct tape. Not a good situation. What I

spot in this system which is the loosely

the

collar that attaches to the

so that I can put a large hose clamp

around the rubber sleeve and

it down onto this new extension. Does

this make sense? I'd
