    Significant shrinkage

    Got my 4 "hoses" (velocity stacks?) yesterday and installed them this morning. Why wouldn't they seal well? Because they are 30 year old rubber! Hopefully the bike is good for another 30...

    Yep, that's exactly what happens. They get hard and brittle too, you'll find that re-installing the carbs are much easier with squishy boots.

    Here's what mine were like.

      I just went for my last ride on my friends 850, and I'll say it runs pretty damn good right now. Going to give it back this weekend. It was fun while it lasted. Replaced the RH fork seal also.
