    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

We need to use you as the "Poster Boy" for new to them GS owners who can't figure out why their bike runs like crap after first buying it and before getting anything properly done, they start hacking at the airbox, or throw a quick set of cheapo pods and cut the exhaust down...etc...

And don't forget Bwringer's airbox side cover mention, seal them up as well.

Your doing exactly what needs to be done even if someone was to change to pods later, getting the bike to run properly for a baseline before any modifications. Stay on track, you'll be more than pleased with the results and what you can accomplish!:clap:

Thanks oldskool! I did seal up the rubber gaskets with some flexible loc-tite adhesive. One of the seals had a split down at the bottom (filter side) and this stuff patched it perfectly. I used the same stuff around the inlet boots as well. Should be pretty well sealed up!
 
Here's a pic. You can see the once 3/8ths high foam nicely squished. Also, the repair to the bottom of the gasket. That bottom side doesn't matter a ton considering everything is filtered from there-on-in anyway.
