who makes new rubber boots to fit F2 head

[brandEn]

This guy had them listed on his website for a while.

I just checked before posting this and unfortunately didn't see them listed anymore. You could contact him and see if he will do another run.

I have had problems with several sets of aftermarket boots for the late K's and late F's. The material was to soft and had vacuum leaks. I don't think they liked the ethanol in fuel either. I remember Dynoman offered boots for for the old VM29's in "new...space age rubber"......he hasn't listed them on his site for years now. Hmmmmmm.

the qnes on the bike now still work but are hard as a brick . have a spare engine .   that has some a little softer , just thought if they were avaliable i would get a set.

My Buddy uses WURTH brand "Rubber Care" aerosol, not gel.  His entire life professionally and privately has revolved around motorcycles. I have seen it work, it is amazing,  as he uses it anyway! He swears by it!!
 He sprays the intake rubbers with it, then locks them in a zip lock bag for a week. Magic!! Last bike was his beautiful 78' F2.

if there are enough people, minimum 25 people, I would be happy to have these made. Price would no more than $60.00 for a set. They would be nitrile ruber, and I can adjust the hardness. about an 8 week turnaround. I would need a sample to work from.

I would have a set , you would need a shamble for each as they are 4 different ones?

Is each one different? I though 1+4 are the same and 2+3. You just flip 3+4 upside down. thats how the earlier ones are. That might be why they are hard to get, making 4 molds vs 2 would make things expensive.

They are numbered 1-4 with different part numbers, however turning two upside down sounds like it could work!
