Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Just checked and it seems OEM carb boots are not available any more. That sucks. Given that fact aftermarket is the only choice, other than ebay for NOS. I'd give those a try and keep my fingers crossed.
CRUZINIMAGES has intakes HOWEVER theres been some chatter about slow service and / or they are closing up. Do much research or contact them directly before ordering.

Haven't heard anything about Cruzinimage.net closing. Just ordered a set of carb boots from them and got them in about 2 weeks! I've used them for quite a few parts, and hope they are not closing.
I use them a lot too. Just heard it on other forums about unusually long waits tats been out of character for them.

I dont recall spring things. That bikes up front in one of my storage units and i havent ridden it in like 4 years or so. Just under a big blanket. To be honest id have to look at it to refresh my own memory on that one.

How did you recognize that the rubber dampeners were worn so badly in the clutch basket on you KZ rebuild?
and do you suggest changing over to electronic Dyna ignition or just replacing point and condensers??
thanks for all the knowledge chuck

It rattled like a coffe can full of bolts at idle and ALMOST went away at speed. I thought clutch hub bolt or basket. Took all that apart and didnt see anything wrong so i figured it was the primary chain. Anyway, when i got to rebuilding the top end for new valve stem seals and valve lapping i cracked the cases and replaced the primary chain because i had read about them stretching and making a lot of noise. This led me to discover there was a lot of slop between the two halves of the secondary shaft. So it got the new rubbers and the primary chain. Took a bit of patience but i found a NOS chain off ebay.
edit.... rubbers didnt look worn away at all. I think they shrink and get hard thus letting them get loose and rattle.

ok
Thats relieving. Actually
a lot of good detective work on your part. Damn. I suspect they might shrink and harden if the crankcase is without oil for years?? Do you think That might have been the case
It sat out behind a barn in the Texas sun so long the red faded off the bike. The first thread I linked shows that result. It had oil as I recall but that doesn't negate your theory.
Ordered a set of airbox boots last wednesday, and they are being delivered today! Cruzinimage is alive and well it seems!
