I'm afraid you can only obtain them with plenum. I've seen them on offer separately, but that's a shop in the Netherlands.

ebay may yield the whole box with the rubbers in good shape.  You may also price new ones from an online parts dealer and compare.  Sometimes reasonable, sometimes insane.  The clamps are 10 bucks each so keep those.  I have a 76 CB550 cafe on my site you can take a look at, it uses velocity stacks but the carbs had to be rejetted.  Much info on this site about that stuff.  Welcome.

All this time I should have been looking in the UK. I almost went to pods when I couldnt find these boots anywhere. Thanks so much for the info!
