    Intake boot compatability

    Has anyone checked compatability of intake boots to other bikes/models/years?

    No way I can afford $25 x 4 right now, so I need to go used.
    82 650GL, CV carbs that are, as far as I can tell, the stock ones.

    While removing them from the old head, I found that they are badly cracked... inside! The outside looks fine, except right up against the head, where the inside cracks extend to the outside edge. I highly suspect this is the source of my problems (Grrr... months of work and t-shooting! Oh well, it's been basically overhauled.) but I have blown my entire budget by this point.

    Or, anybody feeling philantropic and want to ship me a set of boots?

    otherwise, a list of compatible parts, or how to find this info out would be greatly appreciated.

    I've never done it, but, I've heard of folks using pieces of radiator hose

      My boots were separating from the metal mounts...

      I used a hobby knife to cut the remaining adhesive away, and re-attached them with JBWeld, making sure to seal any cracks... Works so far...

        Well, I got some GS750 boots. We'll see how compatible they are when they arrive.
