The last time I did that job I removed the screw at each end and slackened the four on the little bracket underneath, that hold the four carbs together (not too much, just about one turn). Removed the bracket that holds the four intake rubbers. This makes everything all wobbly and if you then lower the housing onto the carbs, look under it with a torch and make sure the little brass stubs enter through the rubber flanges, give the rubber pipes a jiggle and you will find the carbs, housing and rubber flanges all come together and you can pop a screw in each as they marry up to hold them together. When you've got them all together, fit the other four screws, tighten them up and fit the rubber intakes support bracket then, turn it over and fit the two end screws and tighten them at the same time as the four on the little bracket. It doesn't sound easy but it is more easy than doing them while they are clamped together, and; you will be happy that all the rubbers are correctly in position. Obviously, take the whole thing off the engine complete and refit complete. Most times you don't have to separate them then!

Yep, #1 clamp, sorry… we’ve known about that issue for a couple of decades now (written up a few places). Glad you got it sorted out.
If you are in NE Illinois I know a guy that can and will work on them. My dealership sent me to him cause they wouldn't touch it. He is great.
I have a guy that worked for Honda for 35 years and he can do them. I wanted to let you know things are really getting bad out there. At my local Honda dealer went in to buy some molly paste to lube my rear end splines and kid did not know what a st1100 was. And stated there is no molly grease only gear oil in the final drive. So i asked for the service department personel since the parts monkey did not know crap. Some kid a little older than him came out and said go get some grease from walmart thats what they use for splines on shaft drive bikes. I said don't they need a molly grease and he said no any grease will do

Yes I checked my ebay account. I purchased from them. Romax in Florida.
They were $400. Now $489. Inflation what can you do?
