Carb Boot Quality

Post by Artie »

So many variations and pricing on these

How can you assure quality,hate to be a cheap but….
Is there any need to spend 3 times the price

Don't use those! Either OEM Honda ones, still available, or Randakk, or I think JR carries good ones too.

Might check with Bill Brint, too. Tim's CBX Not worth going 'inexpensive' as Dave said.

The ones that I carry are made by the same vendor that Honda uses.

Tiny trademark molded into the parts. So small it just appears as a defect in the mold, near microscopic.
I compared them to known removed and new components from Honda.

I am also a known and reputable supplier, doing more R&D than most others will or can.

I'm the guy that tested and qualified all the CBX components for Randall Washington, aka Randakk's Cycle Shakk when he owned that business.

If I say it's GOOD, then it is.
