IntroSpectre Topic Author Offline User Posts: 23 Thank you received: 0	Hi KZers, Does anyone have a clue where to find the rubber carb boots that connect the airbox with the carb? Mine are hard as rocks. I have an 83 KZ550 F1 Spectre with TK carbs. I've searched far and wide online and can't seem to find them. Ebay has nothing either. Thanks for the help, Andy

I get my stuff from these guys at Z1:

www.z1enterprises.com/company.aspx

Very knowledgeable and fast shipping. My new boots made a big difference in access. I got the spring retainers at the same time which had gone missing on mine.

Best of success!

Unless they have another Kawasaki part # that's a more universal part that fits. All 4 intake rubbers are the same part number on this bike, not the same as KZ650, earlier 550 or any other Kawasaki. 321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Oh, and will these fit the TK's used on the 550 F1? Thanks

Yes, 14073-1083 is the number. It's listed at bikebandit for $10.74 each. Like I said though, virtually every part Kawasaki ever made still has a price, but may or may not be still available. I don't understand that. I tried to order H2 parts like 20 yrs ago and they were no longer available, yet even today the stuff is still listed with a price like you can buy it. Yea right.
