When I did this. Hopefully an improvement.
Used old bad carb boots when I formed the straps with heat gun.

  I'm glad that we got to share the information, thanks. Yamiya seems to be the answer once again for K0 stuff. Everett powersports also has some regular K 71-76 carb rubbers.

New rubber is preferred over old stock every day all day... Provided it is made from correct rubber compounds, yamiya and Honda can be trusted to make it correctly...

That's not a bad price! I think I paid $120 for the ones I'm using on my ride, 3 or 4 years ago, now.

A good idea to have an extra set on the shelf for future needs.
As oil filter, throttle cable that suddenly snap off (pull wire close to grip) and other parts.

 I studied the roll angle of the new Vintage CB750 K0 rubbers and tried to match the down angle compared to the fins on another K0. I rolled the rubbers down so they angled the carbs similar to how it looks on a bike. They actually got better.
 The numbers and mold parting lines are even more wacky, but the rubbers appear to work, still nearly as hard as old ones though. I never got the carbs to pop in, I didn't want to risk breaking the K0 carb plate.
