    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I'm working on putting my air box back on and have a question. I know there's a left and right boot, but is there a correct rotation? Does the the L or R go to the top or bottom for example. Or does it even make a difference?
1981 GS1000G

Thanks,
 
Air box boots or carb boots? I dont recall having an L or R on my airbox boots and they all have the same part # in the fiche :)
 
mortation, these are the air box to carb boots. On the L there is no right or left. For some reason there is for the G.

arveejay, thanks for the info.
 
In general, markings or arrows on parts always go on top or facing forward or up. If there are arrows on two mating parts, the arrows must point at each other.

Those are a couple of basic laws of mechanical orientation. You'll find the same types of markings on all kinds of machinery.

I was little frustrated when I started this thread. Had been trying to get my air box back on with no real luck. Already had the L/R on top, guess I was just hoping someone would tell me different and then everything would work LOL. Ordered new boots last night, should have them in couple of days.

Thanks,
 
Trying to put a round peg in a square hole, huh. It'll seem like a breeze with new ones.:-D
