The one thing I always hated about the airheads was those lousy plastic air tubes going from the air cleaner housing to the carbs.
They never fit right and are a pain to get on and off.
I just finished going over an R75/7 engine and ordered new rubber manifolds for the carbs.
They are the exact length of the original ones.
I put them on, no problem.
Then I went to put on the plastic air tubes and they are way off.
If I force them on they push back the air cleaner housing about 1/2 inch.
What gives????
How do you get them to fit correctly.
I've been riding airheads for 20 years and am not new at this but I'm baffled.
