Does anyone know if reproduction airbox to carb boot for 73 GT750 are available. Mine have now shrunk way beyond being usable.

Thanks

Not sure this is the answer you are looking for, but have you tried the wintergreen oil trick to soften them up and swell them?

New ones are still available from the dealer but costly. $120 for a set not including clamps. If you can’t revive yours, I have a nice used set I could sell you at $50 shipped for the set of 3 with the 6 clamps if you are interested.

Thanks everyone for the info and offers. They are still real soft but they would come close to slipping off the bottom of the carb. I lowered the airbox about a half an inch and they fit a whole lot better.

.. a bit of a bodge but if looks aren't the primary concern I've found self-amalgam-ing rubber tape a saviour in similar situations :wink:
