    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.

I couldn't afford the high dollar price for 4 new boots... waht to do....
what a pickle I was in. Then I realized that trusty Autozone carries tailpipe couplings that would do the trick. 2-1/8" id just does the trick. (well a little help fram the drimel and fabrication was complete.) shortened and smoothed on the inside, they work awsome. I even painted them anodized blue for some needed color. :D

now all that is left is to shorten a bit more. they push the airbox back a smidge to far... can't get side covers on. poop! :x 8O oh well easy fix... here comes the cut off wheel..

as for my previous posts thanks for nothing fellas. (not one reply) :cry:

oh well.

oh by the way i did fix my carb problems, but i think it needs the mixture screws to go 1/8 - 1/4 tun out still yet. takes gas but is sluggish.. any replys with help?????????????
 
I KNEW IT!!!
I thought to do the same thing back when I was restoring my bike and got shot down.
Let me know if they seal well and don't leak.
I still want to try this in case my stockers are failing.

Thanks man,

You rock!!

Radiator hose is what you should use, The vibration of Mounting the carbs solid to the motor will distroy them. & It will be impossible to get a leak proof seal
 
its still a work in progress... i used rubber against the airbox to absorb shock. the adapters float in the airbox holes a bit. not a great seal i guess. what do you think of using pvc fittings? i may still indeed go to a radiator hose if i can get one with 2-1/8" inner diameter.. (hard to find around here for some reason) florida... weird state. the banks aren't even open on saturdays... whats up with that..

thanks for the input......
 
PVC will give you the same vibration problems to a lesser degree, but if you make a rubber gasket to dampen the vibration you might be ok. I'd be interested to know how well it works if you try it, though.
