      which model out of your big list of bikes are you referring to? most boots are stamped left and right, so thats 50% there, some have the vacuum ports in the boot themselves, if that is the case, make sure the ports are pointing downwards and to the outside of the engine.

      hope this helps.

        Look at the parts fishe to judge if your bike has two different parts or just one.
