![]() ![]() I like the contoured shape of the rubber boots, and the big air filter, so I decided to modify the air box instead of scrapping it. ![]() ![]() So after fighting the rubber boots to get the carbs off for the third time I swore I would never do it again. However, if all you want to do is take off the carbs to clean the jets or replace the float needles this is absolutely no help at all. Then, without the back wheel blocking the path, the air box will slide straight into the frame and fit right on to the carbs. It’s easy to see that these boots are easy to install if the air box is on the bench and the boots are fitted on the air box before the side covers are screwed on. If you have ever needed to remove the carburetors you know what I am talking about. Case in point, the rubber boots connecting the carburetors to the air filter box are ridiculously hard to remove and even harder to reinstall. I will not be the first to say that the engineers at Triumph did a great job designing my 2001 Bonneville but in typical engineer fashion they made it easy to assemble in the factory, not easy to repair in the garage. ![]()
