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.

pretty far from the air box

askew and too far. But,

| | | | 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.
