    Air box snorkel repair

    Having a partially ripped air inlet snorkel that was 're-attached' by someones duct tape handy work, I decided to remove the tape and reattach the snorkel with a more permanent type of repair. I drilled four holes, wiped a bit gray silicone rubber between the inlet and the air box and pop-riveted it back in place.

    It may not be restoration quality, but it's good enough for a daily driver.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Forget "Restoration Quality" ... What you have there is the "custom" look!

      Nicely done - enjoy!
