I've found the carbs 'sink' over time and cause a rich mixture.
Used a small bungy cord to hold them up for test then made a spring hanger onto frame

I usually support mine with affirming statements like, "you atomized very well today" and "those jets work beautifully on you".

A black ZIP TIE around the top frame tube works very well . Hardly noticeable.

I have seen guys make small alloy straps that go from carb plate on an angle to the airbox tabs on the frame solid and looks good if you make nice straps.bill

I like the look of the stock airbox. It fills in that space.
