Title: carb boot clamps
Post by: Scott Sappington on August 19, 2017, 03:42:01 PM
rear Original carb boot clamp w flip over style clamp on 74 250HS
Are you racers using this style clamp or moved on to the std style hose clamp? Any one have the OEM clamp pop open after a crash? (Which leads to boot slipping off air box)
What is the best alternative for a race bike? STD style or New OEM, is OEM original clamp even available?
Thanks, Scotty "Rat"

I use the original type that you talk about and I have not had any problems with them.
