    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I need to replace my carb boots (all of em!) cause of cracks and air leaks but I can't find them anywhere. Have looked at DennisKirk, BikeBandit, Old Bike Barn, Cycle-Re-Cycle...... just dont know where else to look!

Any suggestions?

Good prices, good customer service

Good prices, good customer service

I just got rubber boots for both sides of the airbox and the clamps from the below. Good prices but $100.00 is the min order (not a problem for me I always need parts).

crotch rocket.com has good prices, but I hear there can be issues with shipping times. I've had decent luck with my one order, but I wasn't in a hurry either.

worst case you could try what i did on my 850, at least from the airbox to the carbs I used some radiator hose from a large truck. one piece 2" ID and one piece 2" OD, slip one inside the other, trim so as not to obstruct air to the many vents on the backside of the carbs, and jam them in the airbox and onto the carbs? kinda ghetto, but it seemed to have done the trick for a short time... and only cost $7 :wink:
 
I got my boots from Ron Ayers. They were quite a bit cheaper than Bike Bandit, and they were fast too. Just make sure you know the part number before calling them. If you ask them to look up a part for a 1980, they will say they don't deal with bikes that old.
