Jim, not sure it would've helped in this instance, but after repeatedly losing filters when I had my KH400, I've since hooked a spring through the rubber where it meets the filter material, and then hook the other end around the brass choke plunger. This way you don't have to tighten the filter clamps nearly as much in order to keep them on the carbs. And if one does come loose, it'll still be on your bike, not down the road 50 miles back.
Neat idea. I may do that on my DT100. I haven't lost one from it yet, but I probably will at some point.
Right, in this case the rubber just fell apart under the clamp. It's probably something like polyurethane, where my old K&Ns are probably neoprene or Buna-N. The ones on my H2 are actually 40 years old.
