    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

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.

Sounds like your boots have completely separated. As mentioned, they are one piece with the rubber being molded to the metal base.

If they're in bad shape it's possible the ones on the other side of the carbs are too. I fiddled around with old boots, head side and airbox side, as well as stretched out clamps, for months. It wasn't until all eight boots were replaced along with new clamps that I got a steady idle. In that time the headers started to change color too.
 
I recently installed a set of the Cruznimage boots and they appeared to be high quality. Many others here have been satisfied as well.

Replace the old carb to airbox boots too.

The ones I used were shipped directly from Japan, complete with cool Japanese newspaper wrappings. Didn't take to long to get to the US. Not sure whether ordering from or shipping to the UK would be a problem. You might have to look for the company on eBay or some other source.
