Hi all
Been trying to get my airbox to stay down on top of the carbs of my 600 divvy.they are going down ok... The jubilee clips are tight.but as soon as I tighten up the bolt that holds the air box in position.it just pops of the carbs again.cant tie wrap it down due to the airbox being round above the carbs.any Ideas to stop it Thumbs Up

Last time I had issues getting the airbox back on the carbs I used a heat gun/hairdryer to soften the openings up and that seemed to work. You could try that on them and maybe anything around the main bolt to allow a bit of flex?
