Hello from FREEZZING Canada!

I just bought a 99 sv650 and Im doing maintenance on it. I removed the airbox to gain access to the carbs but I have no idea how I'm going to put it back in since the rubber carb/box adapters have clamps with the screws pointing in very akward directions. Is there a trick to getting this back on?

I thought of clamping the rubber onto the carbs and then with the filter removed pulling the rubber over the box inlets... however akward thats too.

Anyone???
