    You asked, I answered.

    Try to think of it more as a summary line. You'll lose less sleep that way, Steve. :-)

      yeah get new boots. i was so frustrated with installing my carbs and airbox, that i resigned to getting pods. afterwalking away from it, and reading some posts, i took another stab and got it all back on. every millimeter of clearance helps. re routed my wiring harness (this was a refurb) and had to loosen the rear master cylinder (this is on an 1100). use grease and patience.

          Two things.
          I recommend saturating the boots with protectant such as Armor all to help make them supple again/ ease installation and as Dan said eat lutefisk.

            Thanks for all the info, all. To confirm, the bike is a 1980 GS550L. I'm waiting for my paycheck and am going to get new boots all around. I still can't get the airbox off, which is miserable.

            After doing some hard thinking, I may have to sell this bike. It's pretty big and scary and my feet hardly touch the ground when I'm on it so I am looking into a smaller bike. Does anyone have a recommendation on what to use for tank cleanup? I've heard Kreem is the wa to go but I'd like ya'll's input too. Thanks for all the help, guys!

              Kreem has ruined more gas tanks than any other product.
