Airbox Hose Replacement Ideas was created by Fiddles
Hey all,
Been reading the form, but this is my first post. I wanted to see if anyone had any interesting ideas/experience on replacing the rubber hoses for the airbox.
My rubbers are shot on both sides. While I found the flanges on Z1 the air hoses are... well... yall know the story. I dont want to fiddle with the pods just yet and just want to ride. I found this really cool link

Seems like this got the job done, although I dont know why he used epoxy instead of clamps. Im curious if anyone else has tried this hah!

I've seen the plumbing boots used but not the tie rod boots. Looks like they'd be easier to work with.

Looks like a good idea... I would guess he felt that epoxy would give a better seal....
