    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Airbox question

Can anyone tell me how the rubber carb-to-airbox fittings are supposed to be held onto the airbox. This is a '77 GS750.

Here is a pic of my situation. Do those look like the right fittings for my airbox?

Thanks in advance

Yes and no

The orientation is correct, the boots need to be pushed into the air box so the 1st ridge is sealed to the airbox face
 
Their is a small indentation to line up on the air box, also you are missing the retainer clip that goes on the inside of the airbox
 
Thanks BigT. The first ridge after the bell mouth is smaller than the hole but the next ridge fits up against the airbox. Should I just glue that ridge onto the airbox with silicone?

Seems like the holes are too big for the rubber fittings. I can see what you mean; if the holes were smaller and the rubber was pliable you could work that first ridge inside the airbox.

Here is another pic.

Ah retainer clips. Thanks SqDancer I'll see if I can find some of those at the local bike wrecking yard. There are a few GS's there.

BTW, this site is great.
