Hi.
I'm looking for a decent airbox to carbs rubber bellow/boot for a 72' T500. Could anyone assist me?
P.S I am located in the U.K.
Thanks.

Re: Air Filter
Can't help directly mate, but regarding fitting, I battled for ages to get my 'boot adaptor' to stay on. It would keep slipping off the carbs.
I found the only way to do it is to take everything off the bike from the boot back to the airbox, - remove the battery box first.
Assemble it all -circlips nice and tight on the bench, (I roughed up the carb mouth outers where the boot attaches to help it grip), then assemble/push it back onto the carbs as a unit with a smear of rubber grease. Removal of the battery box is just to allow refitting the airbox assembly. Finally fit the airbox. I added a bolt and nut going vertically down through the frame into the top of the airbox to add an extra mounting.
Good luck finding a boot.
