    What am I doing right

    What am I doing right. I keep reading all these carb threads about having to fight to get the carb rack back on and then the air cleaner box back on. How come I never have a problem with this. Seems the biggest problem I have is getting the throttle cable hooked back up. I think that cause of my big hands. Any suggestions.

    I don't know if either one of us is doing anything wrong. I know the first time I took my carbs out, I had a little difficulty putting them back in. But took them back out, slipped right in the second time.
    When I put mine on, I had enough slack in the cable to actually put it on the carbs before I attached them to the bike,ie boots.
    That or maybe try some long-nose forceps.

          I always thought the same thing.................until I had to remove the airbox from a '78 GS1000............... talk about a pain in the a$$!!!!!
