As I'm sure this has been discussed before about the carb boots. As we all know the carb boots on our carbs are sometimes a pain and sensitive to tearing. Have you ever tore one and went of crap? Instead of praying the nearest Honda Dealer has them or ordering them replace them with radiator hose cut to size. I have this on my 86 and have not problems! Benefits are you will get better clamping due to more surface area/stronger material. Also as you seat your carbs and sometimes a bit of the boot gets pinched on the last one with the hose you can use a flathead screwdriver to unpinch it without worrying about tearing it! Just alittle advice
