intake boot

[RatTrapz]

can anyone send me a link of where I can get a new intake boot? I've done some digging but can't find one for my 2003 blast cheaper than like 60 bucks...

Was riding the other day and it started to backfire and died on me, now it won't start and I think if I replace the boot it might help?

Buy Dan's custom "superboot". It costs more but it's worth it. The stock rubber boot is doomed for repeated failure and not worth $5 imo. Here's a link to the custom boot.

Thank you very much.

i call up the local harley dealer, the rubber boot, the coupler between the carb and the intake manifold is what your looking for.

that is ~15 bucks now.

the superboot is something to use instead of the dual hose clamps.

i cut the middle ridge out of my stock carb boot (rubber) and have used the superboot as a fantastic way to secure and support the carb.

hope that helps

I would Just spend the extra $$ for Dan's Boot and be done with it! A Great Fix for sure

 

[ben_says]

yeah i agree...

i was just trying to help clarify the actual boot from the boot clamp. and the different costs.


i for sure don't want him paying more than 15 bucks for the rubber.

ok cool thanks guys I really appreciate the help... All I wanna do is ride my new bike and I can't!! I just ordered the superboot from Dan, do I need anything else to go with it or just that?

 

[supermel74]

[RatTrapz]

OK does anyone know where I can get the rubber to go inside the superboot my superboot rubber has a huge tear in it i think I overtightened it.

thanks

The part number is 27443-00Y They're around $15 + shipping. You can find them at lots of internet Harley parts sellers by searching the part number.

I do use the stock oem 27443-00Y with the middle ridge removed to make them.
And I do sell replacements if you don't want to do it yourself for $25 shipped.

Thank you to all my fans who give out my info!!

Hi guys I had a supply problem with H-D with the stock boots an haven't had the SuperBoot available since Sept.
It's been a long process of getting one made to my specs the Mfg. called me yesterday an they finely got the mold in an I should have them available again real soon SuperBoots and Replacement Boots.

Mr. Thumpe: I contacted you a few weeks back thru ebay and you sd that. Because I needed one immediately I called one of the local HD dealers and they had plenty of OEM in stock so I bought one for $15.50 + tx. They call it a manifold coupler. Its basically a 50 cent peice of rubber. It does not make sense that you cannot get them from HD or some other supplier of rubber hose.[confused] I thought you used the OEM rubber peice and did something with that to strengthen the ends / clamps connections??

 

[Thumpe]

H-D changed there ruling that customers can not order large amounts of anyone part anymore it's considered stocking or for resale I was ordering 20 at a time.
I did use a modified stock boot but now i'm having them made to my specs an I wish they only cost 50 cent but that's not the case.
It's been a long 7 month from going from a drawing to getting the part in hand got my first samples yesterday got to make a couple of adjustments to the rubber compounds where using I should have them available by next weekend.

 

[bonson]

well I kind of more meant that HD dealer is charging me $15+ tx for a 50 cent peice of rubber because they do buy them in bulk. The Blast died last night and I had to do a take the carb apart thing in a parking lot at 3am not sure if reapplying boot or dropping bottom half of fuelbowl/carb that did it but i got it home eventually

ok Thumpe again, on side topic: Buell Blast Bent Series Intake Straight Filter- Partial Intake OT INCLUDED WITH THIS INTAKE - MY CUSTOM INTAKE BOOT AND CATCH CAN BREATHER.
I hate all that plastic air intake box crap in my way trying to work on bike - this sounds great. My only concern is about rejet the carb. I work on cars, but I know nothing about working on carbs. What specs or info can you say about that?

 

[Thumpe]

Jets are right in under the floatbowl main and pilot both it's an easy change.
What exhaust would you be running with my intake?

 

[Thumpe]

Well I got some samples of the new boot but need to make a change on the mold after the fix be alittle longer now I'll be up an running again soon i'm almost there.
