    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.

what's the trick to the airbox re-install??

Shaft drive 850cc+ airboxes are soooo easy, it takes longer to install pods. The airbox goes in and out from the right side of the bike.

If you want to compare install times for an airbox with bad boots, then the 4 pods need to have bad boots too :D

Any other GS airbox, .................

takes practice (and good boots)

What he said. I can have GS shaftie carbs in or out in 10 minutes or less, easy. All other models, fuhgeddaboutit.
 
Take the airbox mount bolts out. That allows the box to move back about 3/8". use a silicon spray on rock hard boots, heat with a hair dryer,respray then start pushing and shoving. It helps to have a hooked tool like a cotter key remover to help the rubber lip over the carb bell. Start on one side and work your way across. Patience is the key.
