Is there a preferred method to get it together with that god-awful lack of clearance everywhere? I know about pliable, boots, warming, etc. It was a bear to get them off. Can the engine be tilted slightly forward or anything? 1/4 inch would certainly help......

Apparently you're using the stock airbox. My sympathies.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

I've heard you can shove the rubbers back into the airbox a ways and then tender them back out after the carbs are installed? Anybody try that?Comment

I just fitted carbs to a 82 GSX750ET/GSX750EX, I found it pretty easy by fitting the carbs to the airbox rubbers, I left the airbox loose and pulled the carbs backwards slightly with the airbox, then just slipped in each inner intake rubber and then the outer rubbers. It was all done inside an hour, spent a day cursing trying other methods. The intake boots are angled fitting them last allows you to put the thin part in and turns the boots around.Last edited by Guest; 04-30-2019, 07:20 AM.Comment
