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.

Where to get regular 1/4" wide hose clamps?

I just need a hose clamp like this:

It has to be 1/4" wide to fit into the grooves over the airbox and intake boots, one of those came with my bike and the other 3 were those crappy OEM ones with phillips screws, they're all nearly stripped now.

I've tried pretty much everyone in town, Lowes, Carquest, Schucks, and all they have are the 1/2" wide ones. The local Suzuki dealer didn't have any. I tried calling Home Depot but the person I talked to was useless, they're a bit far away from me.

Any ideas where to try? I'd prefer to get them from a B&M store to avoid shipping charges.
 
Try a hose supply store in your area. They'll have all sorts of hose clamps that the big guys don't carry.
 
Forget the big box stores and go to any local hardware store.
 
Well I found one hose supply store in town but it was already closed. In case they don't have any, whats a good website to order some from?
 
You could just order new OEM clamps from your favorite Suzuki parts source. They're less than $3 each.

Personally, I wouldn't fart around with substitutes for long. However, I have been known to use a large plastic zip tie in many situations when no one's looking.
 
Get the OEM clamps they are designed to be tightened without over tighting the rubber boots
