Air Induction Rubber Boots

[Wez_]

Hello fellas,

**OP was in the wrong forum...

I am trying to source some replacement boots from the block to the carbs, also from carbs to stock air box (for now...PODS look so sweet)

my bike is an 1982 CB750SC - DOHC

What year, make and models can I source rubbers from?

I have found these so far.

Well, I didn't see this second post until after I responded to the first, so here is my reply from the other thread:

"For a couple dollars more you can get new aftermarket boots that will be much more pliable and less prone to leaks than any 35 year old rubber parts you will find:

The ebay parts you linked to add up to $112.45 (with shipping)

The aftermarket ones I linked to will run you 131.90 (plus shipping)

New ones straight from Honda will set you back $127.04 (plus shipping):

Even if the aftermarket or OEM shipping cost were $20 I think used ones would be a bad idea. Vacuum leaks can cause all sorts of problems that are difficult to diagnose and old hard rubber boots are more inclined to leak.

Oh wow, thanks for the great advice! Not much of a price difference between the new aftermarket vs the old oem. The hondapartsnation doesn't have pictures of the parts. Are the boots nice and thick and good quality? The website looks like it should provide quality products.

They are original Honda parts. Their site is relatively up to date, occasionally I will find a part that is still listed that has been discontinued. Maybe reach out to them to verify availability before placing an order. The parts fiche on their site is pretty easy to use:

I have a set of the carb to airbox boots you can have if you still need them. I am switching to pod filters. DM me if you need them.

Thanks for the offer bud but the ones I need new are the manifold to carb ones. The ones after the carb that bypass the air box I have purchased new. Unless you have an extra set of manifold rubbers.
