I got ALOT of cracks on my rubber intakes, I seen where some were saying you could repair them with tubes from a bike, I am in deep on this bike and not going to give up. Unless I get put in the dog house hehehe. That wont do it either. Any how has anyone done that and how long did they get away with that repair, and does anyone know how much they run IF you can get them?

ok, intake boots are a 5.00 fix.
go to lowes/home depot/ almost any auto parts place, buy a small can of "liquid electrical tape" .

  pant the boots with two or three coats of this stuff and put them back on. will work indefinately after that, with a now and then touch up. cheap, neat easy ,  my kind of fix .
keep your bike running,your beer cold ,and your passport handy.all are like money in the bank .
