You can get a set of 4 new ones on ebay for $45. plus the ebay ones are at least one piece units, whereas those just look like a piece of aluminum with a rubber sleeve that you hoseclamp over it.Nathan

But how often do they crack? If you bought a new set at 45 bucks and took care of the bike and didn't let it sit outside in the sun for 10 years, I bet they wouldn't crack on you.Originally posted by lee_dutcher View PostNathan

Hi Lee,Originally posted by lee_dutcher View Post
anything that's made out of rubber will crack after a decade or so exposed to vibration, gas fumes, sunlight etc.
so be grateful yours have lasted as long as they have.
A new set of rubber inlets should be good for at least ten years, eh?
The write-up on those machined adapters says they'll better resist the extra loads when the carbs are unsupported at the rear because of using pods instead of the stock airbox.
That's true, but a frame-mounted bracket will do the same at far lesser cost.Fred Hill, S'toon
