I have an aftermarket K&N air filter model #RU-2970. i took it off to work with the carbs and replace the fuel line. now i can't get it back on there. the egg shape of the carb intake doesn't match the round shape of the filter. does anyone know how i can remedy this without dropping a bunch of cash?
If it helps, it's a 92 gs500e.
I really want to get my bike working again before it gets too cold.
Welcome!
Can you rotate the filter or the clamps so they do fit? A little WD40 to lube things up so it'll slip on easier.
And, please change your name.

Egg shape?

You must not have stock carbs if the intake is egg-shaped. Can you get pics?
My carbs are oval or egg shaped where the filter/airbox attaches (99 model) so that's fine. Put a little oil on the filter where it goes on the carbs it will go, make sure it isn't upside down either.
