Tip for plugging your intake ports if you have the boots on.
« on: November 17, 2009, 07:46:29 AM »
I discovered tonight that a standard plumbing sink drain plug fits and seals an intake boot snugly.




What other ways have you plugged your ports?


Keep your mind out of the gutter Spikey......  ;)

I had mine open one winter while working on the bike. I just cut four swatches of plastic from a couple of sandwich bags and held them in place with rubber bands.

Another tip for those with the rubbers removed....   chair/table leg rubbers.  (the ones that go on the ends of the metal fold-out chairs & tables)
They have 2 or 3 sizes at HomeDepot and jam in the intakes and outtakes - seal good and are easy to get out and reuse.

I think Carpy sells a kit of correctly sized plastic plugs/caps.
