    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.

If you want new, I couldn't find any one that stood out cheaper for that part, I looked quite a bit, comes down to shipping cost, order service, and how long it takes before they ship the part. Partshark.com and Z1 are fair and good.
 
Ok thanks guys. I have used Z1 a good 10 times or so before. I just cant believe those boots are that much. My bike has been running slightly lame all the sudden after running great and I found a crack in the 2nd boot thats sucking air in.

What is running lame? Mine has no mid range about 4000 rpm, I was going to try carb boots. What symptoms do you have?
 
They are pricey, but you only need to purchase them once. They will last another 30 years.
 
I'm gonna be buying some used ones off my friend for $30 total. My boots were 90% jb weld when i took them off. 2 of them ripped in half taking them off smh
 
How I am defining Lame in this case... Mine has no beginning-mid range as well. Once I get going the power "comes back". I found the air getting pulled in through a crack on the 2nd carb boot. I ordered a new set of Boots. Before I ordered I put some sealant on it, let it dry overnight and the next day the bike ran like a champ. All power issues gone. So it confirmed my issue. Hoping to have new boots by weekend to install. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the additional information. Sounds like what mine is doing. Looks like I'll be buying some carb boots.
