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!
