Boot's

Are you talking 1/8" to 1/4" or so??
I got a set off eBay that didnt specify a model, and the airbox seem's a bit far back now, if you know what I mean.I was able to close the gap by forcing the box forward, and tightning the clamp's.

It looks like about a 1/4 in. I have a standard, and am putting a new set of boots on a special for my cousin, I already had a new set for one of my standards, so just out of curiosity, I put them side by side, and the special boots I took off, are longer than the standards. Later 'Dog

Boot sizes

Hey Dog.
I just checked p/ns at Yamaha's online parts site, and the boots for the 79 standard are the same as the 79 Special. They are: 2H7-13586-00-00 & 2H713596-00-00. One set may be aftermarket. Aftermarket manufacturers can duplicate parts without patent infringment by changing the dimensions slightly. Have you ever bought an aftermarket fender for a car, and the bolt holes don't quite line up propely? That's what I'm talking about.

Hey John, they were aftermarket, and yes those aftermarket are not quiet the same sometimes. Thanks Later 'Dog
