    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.

I'm slowly (and I mean slowly) working to get a 1995 GSX750F Katana back into running condition. Just finishing up the carb rebuild and that portion is looking great! The airbox however is "split" in half along its circumferential tongue & groove seam. It's not broken, each half has simply pulled apart along its original seam...

The PO apparently used duct tape to keep it together, but that didn't seal it very well, and along with the mismatched airbox boots, lots of "extra" air must have been an issue.

So, I am thinking of cleaning everything up, scuffing up the mating surfaces along the bond lines and using some plumbing ABS pipe glue that can be found at HD or similar.

Does that seem like it would work? Or is this airbox plastic not ABS material...
 
I have the same issue with the airbox I picked up for the 83 750E. Hopefully, someone can chime in with a solution for us both. I was thinking about the JB weld plastic formula.
 
Thanks guys... that Devcon stuff looks good - it states it will bond ABS so perhaps I'll give that a look...
