Help Needed - Fitting Carbon Airtubes
 

Hi,

Now no laughing but its true, I need help fitting my recently acquired C\F Airtubes ...

I have today tried to fit said artubes but after mounting the indicators and then offering them up to the bike the airtubes are missing the small lugs on the inside that the spring clips in the airbox clip onto ...

A. Is this usual ...??

B. How do I resolve this issue as i'm now getting really faffed off with my bike being in bits .......??

:(

Dibble the only ones I have come across either have bits of carbon moulded in place so that the clips hook onto them or they have a large carbon fibre tag to the rear of the airbox end that hooks inside the airbox and relies on the fairing/headlight fixing to hold them in place.

Angle grinder?

Oh no, wait...

You might need to get creative with a rivet-gun and some bits of metal - that's what I had to do to put the fastening clips onto my CF airbox!

Ever been had Dibs.
Have fun !!!!

Drill. Cable Ties. Despite the time of postiong and alchohol consumed, no, I'm not joking :)

Dibbles

I bought D/P C/F air tubes and they fitted straight on, no prob`s at all.

What make are yours, Tesco`s Sainsbury`s, Liddle`s?????

Dibble, i can sell you a D/P left hand one with mounting brackets in place, if you like? it would give you an idea how to mount it...ooh er!

Mate your not having much luck - where did you get them from? And to make things worse Charlton lost as well!!!!!

DIBBLE Dont worry I am sure it can be sorted, if you need some brackets made send me a sketch of what you want so I can see if I can make them ??
