Connector boots?

16 Jul 2008 05:38

Does anyone know where to get new airbox connectors? The rubber connectors that connect the airbox to the carburators?
I am trying to rebuild a 78 KZ750B and the ones I have were put in incorrectly, had old gas sitting in the kinks that were created which sort of eat into the rubber and there are several large tears/cracks in them.
I have boiled them and applied a coat of silcone to the outside. It seems to have softened them up and sealed the cracks and tears but I doubt that this is a long term solution.

Thanks for the help!

I sort of figured that and have emailed them. My silcone repair should be good enough for my first attempt to get the bike to run, hopefully they may have a long term solution to the connectors.
Thanks!

I personally think the factory ones hold up a lot longer. Of course they cost a lot more too, about $65 for the last ones I got a few years ago.
