jcurtis21
Hey guys I have a 78 cb750 k my mechanic and I are having a hard time finding the intake boots to this. Is there any way I could make some out of maybe silicone tubing or radiator hose? What would the pros and cons of this. Thanks in advance!

It has been done several times with radiator hose before. However the DOHC boots are still available. You just need a dealer willing to look for them.

I have made them out of silicone turbo hoses. Not a problem.
