"Many
times when the GL1000 air box is removed for carburetor repair
or other repair, the rubber gasket becomes damaged from being
rubbed or scraped against the top shelter. The following shows
how to replace your damaged air box gasket.
1.
Carefully remove and discard the damaged gasket from the air
box.
2.
Cut some 7/32" diameter neoprene or surgical tubing to a length
of 29 5/8 inches.
3.
Use some Honda Hand Grip Cement or equivalent adhesive to glue
the new gasket that you made from the tubing to the inside of
the air box cover.
4.
If you cut the tubing too long, trim to fit the groove inside
the air box cover. If you cut the tubing slightly too short,
it can be stretched to fit. The tubing ends should be touching
each other with no gap.
5.
Now you can assemble the air box to the plenum without damaging
the gasket. The gasket is now mounted to the air box cover rather
than the air box."
