Topic: Hard Intake Boots ?

[rddcw]

Trying to install my upper air box on my 74' CB 750 K4. Air box boots appear to be a little hard making installing air box difficult. Used a Heat Gun a little to soften them up to aid install, but still haven't slid on the carbs. fully.

Probably need to purchase New Boots. I saw on eBay that Kenosha Kid sells a set for $18.00. I'm sure they are aftermarkets. Anyone used these or should I just purchase Honda OEM?

May as well get a set of stainless engine bolts and bronze swing arm bushings from Kenosha while you're at it. I've dealt with him 3 times so far. all excellent results. can't say for sure about his boots though.

Kenosha Kids listing on eBay says his set of air box intake boots are for the K0-K6 CB 750's but list they are equivalent to OEM part # 17253-341-000 ?

Honda's part # is supposed to be 17253-341-300.

Even though they look the same, is his part # the same as Honda's ?

Honda part numbers consist of an item number, a model number, and a revision number.

In this case 17253 is the item, 341 is the model it was first used on, and 000 or 300 is the revision number.
