Ok, past that one.  Now I can't fit the carbs into the airbox........oval carb and a round airbox hole.  Not impressed with English engineering ATM.......

heres a tip

loosen all three air box clamps
with one hand pick the bottom of the airbox up a little bit . it will line up better with carbs
dont try to get all three boots on
get the left one on first and tighten the clamp down while holding it in place
do the center
now do the right one

Thanks Mustang.  I also found your airbox thread.  I was trying to attach the airbox first because the engine boots were giving me grief.  Quick question- you know how the boots to the engine intake have an angle on them.  Do you point the boots up or down?

they need to be mounted on engine so the carbs sit LEVEL.

so I guess that would mean if you are on the right side of bike looking at it the boots should point down to the right .
