Decided to post up the front of the number 1 carb looks like (sorry for the shaky hand):

Why Would Airbox Boots slide off Carbs

Scott,
If the carbs are pulling out of the airbox boots why didn't you tighten the clamps all the way? Seems to me that's the thing to do.
After tightening both the carb boots and airbox boots, how does the airbox fit up to the frame? Do the airbox bolt holes align with the frame bracket holes or do you need to horse the airbox into position before the bolt will align?

Ed,
The first few times I did this they were tightened all the way; I was taking Fireman Bob's opinion above to not go that far thinking it was causing my issue.
When Josh, Steve, and I first attempted this back in April/May, we had to widen the holes in the top frame bracket for it to fit. Otherwise, you couldn't get a screw into the bracket. So now, it will fit into the bracket and the new side mount bracket allows the screw to fit right in cleanly. However, I'm a little concerned on that one because the bottom of the bracket is touching the rubber boot of the power wire onto the solenoid so I have some more grinding to do.

Airbox on finally
Airbox on finally
I ordered new airbox side clamps two weeks ago when I ordered my starter parts (Thanks Ed for the advice). Opening the package showed four brand new ones:
After taking care of the starter, I installed the carbs and airbox. Despite a small problem lining up the frame holes at first, I managed to get everything put into place. So far, it looks great:clap:
Left side:
Right side:
and the airbox mount itself lined up correctly:
I would have put the tank on and tried it out but it's pretty hot and sweaty in the garage so I decided to take a break. After a bit I'll run outside, fix the one wire that came out of the display connector, reconnect the tank and see how things play for me.
