These might work , won't look stock , but won't be so wide they don't work properly.

I would prefer to find some that dont have the serations facing inside.
If it works good, it looks good...

My 400 came with this type on the airbox side, I've been using them and they are ok. They don't damage the boots.

Eric, could you post a link to the clamps you use that work good?
I was at one time buying these at Menard's. A bag of 10 was around 8 bucks then. They are 2 3/4" and stainless steel. What I like about them is once you trim the ends to fit nice it leaves very little of the serration left, it is mostly a nice smooth solid band and with some grease on them tighten down nice without biting in. Of course the last time I went to get some there the ones they had were way more serrated  >:(  I think I have found this same brand on the internet if the product matches the picture.  I have also seen some links from members showing some nice ones that are not as wide as the  1 3/16" that these are.
