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.

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.

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.

Gentlemen, Currently I have the traditional air cleaner system on my Ambo. ,
the
round air filter, inside the metal air box, loosely connected to
the
rubber sleeve going to the carbs. The rubber thingy is connected
with
duct tape. Not a good situation. What I want to do is fix the
weak
spot in this system 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,
Bob
