My bikes a 89 200F so the carb is a 28mm :cry: thats why im after a 35mm :supz:

i ordered a new carb boot and they got the wrong one in for my bike but its the right one for a 35mm carb am i right inda ?

I've just looked at my carb and its 50mm on the airbox side and 28mm on the engine side so very small

I scored a little-used two year old pair of A-star Tech8's on ebay not that long ago for ~$125 shipped. Awesome piece of equipment- during one ride I caught my foot between the peg and a tree such that my heel was driven back into the peg hard enough to put a 1/4" dent in the steel heel plate. Didn't even feel it, other than the POW! sensation of having your leg accelerated violently rearward into a hard object. No pain, no lasting effects.

Yeah, boots are good.
