    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • 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.

Guest
just removed the intake boots they seem to be soft and pliable but their is a coating of rubber on the flange where the allen screw is at not the mounting screws the one in the boot, some of this rubber is flaking off is this ok or should i replace the boots would rather not replace but if I need to I will
 
A pic would be helpful but minor localized flaking at the mounting bolt slots or synch adapter bolt I would think is OK.
 
Leaks

Leaks

The important thing is whether or not they leak. If you can look at them and you're satisfied that what you're seeing is not causing a leak, I'd suggest you keep them on there. Keep your eye on them to see if they deteriorate to the point where they're not doing their job. If so, you can always replace them. Too bad they're kind of "spendy" for your bike.
