dont think I got the PM
the trick is to not tighten them really at all...haha. Its crazy but it works. Too much pressure just squeezes them off. I had problems when I first got the bike, lost the right side down the road once or twice. Then stuck some wire on the side just in case and played around with how tight I'm making them. Its been since 07 since I lost one and I dont have the wire anymore as a safety.
Also you get yourself some wider hose clamps. I cant remember if I'm using the k&n ones or some wider stainless ones that came from the original owner. A wider clamp will get you a bit more bite at the end of the rubber edge. Thats really where the pressure needs to be.
