    Ed, thanks for your reply. My other question is about the boots. Mine are still pliable/squishy, (I don't see any cracks) yet I'm able to turn them 360º. Is that normal? On some it feels like there may be 1mm or so of free play when I pull at them in and out.

      You should be good

      Yep, pliable/squishy is good for that side. As long as you get a nice seal when tightening the clamps, you should be ok.

      I noticed the boots on the other side of the airbox (the ones going into the carbs) pulsate when my "T" is running. Since I swapped out my fuel petcock, my bike idles a lot better.

      What I learned is: proper vacuum seal is REAL important.

      my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

        Eil, ya know, I'm glad you mentioned "closed cell." In the Airbox mixup guide on Cliff's site the gentleman showed a picture of the "ACE Narrow gap rubber tape" he used which specifically says "open cell" on the package! Being that we want no air escaping, closed cell certainly makes a little more sense!
