Jeb Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hi all, The carb to airbox rubbers on my 1100f are rock hard and cracked, as I'm not mad enough to buy genuine ones has anyone got any suggestions for replacing them? After many cans of stella yesterday I thought about using some car radiator hose, I know its a bit Heath Robinson but genuine ones are about 70 quid each! Any help would be appreciated as I know I need the airbox on for it to run properly. Cheers Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 £111 for an OEM full set here : xexpress.fr Still very steep. But useable second hand items should be available given enough time to search ? I wouldn't bother messing around with car hose/vacuum cleaner pipe/loo roll ducktape bodgery Quote Link to comment
Jeb Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Thank you...yeah your right, I dont like bodging so will keep looking. Mind you £111 doesn't seem too bad. Cheers Quote Link to comment

Cheers Apart from the engine, carbs, switches, cdi unit and loom, when an 1100 powerscreen is broken the seller can often barely give the bits away. So my guess is try and identify from various ads when and where someone is breaking one and then ask for the odds and sods you want . Quote Link to comment
