;D To keep the air box boots pushed back into the airbox when you are installing your carbs take a tin can lid a little bigger than the airbox to carb boot opening and poke a small hole in the center of the lid. put a knot in a strong string (I used clothesline) and thread it through the hole in the can lid and then through the carb side of the airbox boot. using the can lid push the boot into the airbox and pull the string through the rear of the airbox and tie it firmly to the shock absorber mount. Do this with both boots and they will stay pushed (pulled) into the airbox giving you lots more room to squeeze the carbs back in place. Once the carbs are inserted in the intake boots the can lids and string can easily be slid out from between the airbox boots and the carbs allowing you to affix those boots onto the carb. Job done in 15 minutes!
