I run the K&N's because they were available in the early seventies, and I
ran them on my original Ambo and Eldo..........they gave better performance,
and were less hassle.

Hey Folks,<br><br>
I have read the many posts on this subject. It is obvious that the Guzzi
owners who care want the rubber boot problem solved! I have found the 3M
weatherstrip adhesive (aka gorilla snot) to work quite well.<br>
But how about this. Take a look at most newer bikes. They have an airbox
with a short rubber connector to the carb. There are definitely enough of
us with enough brains and enough beer to make a sheet metal airbox to
replace the rubber boot and use a couple of short rubber pieces to
connect to the carbs. The box could simply be screwed to the lid of the
existing airbox. In this way the airbox could be removed without having
to reglue the boot or disturb the carbs.<br>
I have an idea of a simple way to make such a device. No bending needed.
A flat plate to seal against the existing box lid with an appropriate
sized and angled section of tubing to lead to each carb with a short
rubber connector to fit it to the original carb adapter (aka velocity
stack).<br>

which is the loosely connected rubber sleeve to the metal air box.
I want to make a metal collar that attaches to the inside of the metal
air box and extends out and into the rubber sleeve so that I can put a
large hose clamp around the rubber sleeve and cinch it down onto this new
extension. Does this make sense? I'd rather not throw out the
original air box and put on modern filters. Thanks,
