    There are rings holding them in...on the 750s they are not solid rings but on the 1100 they seem to be solid rings keeping them in place. How do I go about removing them without damaging the boot? They are still pliable, btw and I don't wanna mess this up.

    Oh man those solid rings are a bitch to get on. When I got new boots for the air box, I had ordered new boot rings as well. Apparently they had change the rings at some time and I got the solid ones. The ones I took off were the split rings. I must have worked for hours trying to install the boots with the new solid rings. Finally I said screw it, spread the split rings a part a bit and installed those in no time. All they are for is to keep the boots from slipping out of the hole. I guess you could even cut the solid ring into and use them that way? As long as they have a good fit inside why not?

      If Ed is able to get the old ones out I may have to split them to get them back in. Once I get all the parts and time I need...lol....I will start a thread on the 1100 transplant. So far all I have done is move the motor from the back of my truck to the garage. I want to utilize the stock air system rather than use pods. Pods for some reason make me feel weird inside....lol!

        Yeah, they're a pain alright, Bill. Seems like I will have to alter their circular state just to shimmy them out of the ridge you're talking about. I wouldn't think using warm water and dish soap while cleaning and manipulating them out would be harmful. They'll be slippery for sure...maybe I'll pour just a tad of dish soap on the area underneath where the rings are located they will slide out. I'll have to bend back the boot...this will really test the pliability of it.

        I may not have time to mail them to you while I'm here...which in that case, I'll put them in my luggage and send them to you from my address in Jacksonville. Seems like you've got your hands full as well. It will all come together...one piece of the puzzle at a time.

          Home for Thanksgiving

          Alright, I've had some alone time with my bike and took these pics. I want to dedicate my time to her but right now is not the time. This is a family holiday and I am concentrating on other responsibilities.

          Sometimes I wish work wasn't so wrapped up on a delivery schedule. It puts alot of pressure on everyone and makes simple processes more difficult. Oh well...onto the pics.

          My dirty "L" seat


          Cob web Front Wheel


          Front side


          Not too much oil in the drip pan


          Rear Wheel Baby!


          Carbs aren't too bad looking. I know they will need to be cleaned/rebuilt


          Oil Pan leakage


          Looking good on the right side

                Derek,

                I was not able to get them out...too tempted to put a flat screw driver to them and tear them up! Do you want to buy the whole air box? It's definitely not the same as the 750...the diameters are wider/for sure.

                I'll be home for Christmas/New Year's in a couple of weeks. I'm sure you can wait...right? If not, not biggie.

                  Ed,

                  Ya let me sleep on it. No rush. I don't want you to tear up the boots! I wonder if the box it is the same dimensions just the holes are bigger?
                  I will research...in the meantime enjoy the holiday. I have a ABS sensor to replace in my daughters car before I even look at my bike.

                    Derek, take a look at post #83, its the bottom air box without the chrome covers. There are several part numbers on it.

                    Anyway, if you pay for the shipping, I'll send it to you.


                    Ed

                    EDIT: I'm flying back to JAX today.

                      Ed,
                      Let's do it....my zip is 83835. Let me know what you can ship it for and what you want for box and I will send you $.
                      I will pm you my address.
                      Got the daughters abs sensor replaced last night and starting pulling bits off the "new" motor. Cleaning up this beast is going to be a project!

                        Hey Derek,

                        I'm very easy going. I pretty much gave away my luggage rack to a member on here who never even offered to pay for shipping. I thought I was doing a good thing but they never even bothered to offer anything for my time. I'll forgive but won't forget. Just be honest with me and I'll help.

                          I understand 100%. I have done some buying and trading with other GSR members, but so far so good. I would trade my


                          box for yours, though I would like to keep the chrome pieces and clamps. Here is my box. You are in Jacksonville?

                            Hey Derek,

                            I got your PM and replied. That's cool if you're gonna keep the clamps and chrome side covers. I don't believe these have them so its an even exchange.

                            Thanks for being understanding of my previous transaction. We'll get this done within the month of December. I'm in Jacksonville, FL but I can have you send them to my Delaware address.
