Any suggestions on boots from you experts?

If you want best protection go with Alpinestars Tech 8 or 10.

Hmmm... I remember since 80s. when I started using foam filters in all maintanance books was said "DON NOT USE GAS FOR air filter cleaning. That will destroy your filter!"

Checked price for powder coating. $250! Damn! Is this normal price? Does it worth to powder coat frame?

Here is airfilter box my bike has. What is this place upfront? There is two holes. Something must be installed there? Opening too small for round filter.

Thank you for info Mike!
Another question. Bike has plastic airfilter box. Kind of little weird configuration. Looks similar to aluminum one but not exactly. Obviously some pieces lost and I don't know what was there. I'll try to take pictures tonite and post it.

Apperently 1978 KTM 400cc. I was told this is GS6, but I'm not sure.
On one hand:
1. None breezer frame.
2. Motoplat doesn't have lighting wires.
On other hand:
1. Front wheel has speedometer drive
2. Rear fender used to have lights.
Tank like this -

but frame has loop on rear fender

Try PJ1 Paint, the color is KTM Silver Grey. Its a dead on match. If you can't get it locally try this link, I've ordered with good success from them.

How about my other question:
I need rubber boot between carb and air filter box. I have Lectron carb - 70mm connection diameter. Air filter box outlet diameter ~ 72mm. Any ideas?

Couple more questions:

2. Any special recommendation on oil used?
3. I need rubber boot between carb and air filter box. I have Lectron carb - 70mm connection diameter. Air filter box outlet diameter ~ 72mm. Any ideas?

Tom,

I seen on your website some paint colors mentioned. Do you know what color # or name of color used for silver frame? Can you recomend any specific paint?

Thanks,

Andrew

P.S. I don't think I need repaint frame completely, may be just some touch ups.
