Hi. After a few years of standing,not me,the bike, iv'e decided the bike deserves to be re-born,I am having problems with trying to get those airbox rubbers to fit over the the carb's!  is there any way to soften them.Regards,Steven.

Here's a few things to try:

Some recommend soaking them in a wintergreen solution (available at your drug store). It softens the rubber a bit, and makes it more pliable.
If it's a sticking problem, try some dishwashing soap and water on the inside of the boots.  Once it dries, it does get stickier.
Some say you can use a blow dryer for hair to warm up the ends, making them more flexible.  
Do be careful with this recommendation.  Open spark from the blow dryer, mixed with stray gas fumes, can be a problem.

I hope this helps.  Let us know how it turns out.

If you find you are still having trouble with them I have several sets of the airbox rubbers. Just holler if you find you need them.I'll check and see how healthy they are to make sure they are 100%

Thanks,kind offer, I may just take you up on that. I'm still in two minds wether to try the pod's or not.Are the rubbers supposed to be so ridged?I managed to soften them in solution but they still won't play ball.Maybe i'm going about it wrong!

Boil them, for 45 minutes in 2 qt water, and 4 oz winter green. Just be sure to put something in the bottom of the pan to keep the rubbers from touching the bottom.
