So, i bought my first bike (2005 buell blast) and it has a harley cv carb installed on it. BUT, the carb was installed like junk. Only thing keeping it on are a tube and 2 c clamps. Anytime i take the speed over 45 it blows off the rigged mount. Need something to permanently keep the thing on. Help me out! | ||

Pictures? The carb, stock, is attached to the motor by a tube ("Das Boot"). The bulk of the attachment is from the airbox, on the intake side of the carb. The carb is screwed to that. Do you have a filter on the carb? Or is it just open to the air? If you're missing the airbox, there are a few options. The first is to get an airbox. The second is to get something known as a "SuperBoot" around here, which is a much more rugged "rubber tube" that can fully support the carb. | ||

I do have a filter on it. And i have the air box as well. I just think the guy that installed it cheap-ed out on a boot and just used a spare tube he had laying around. Any good links to a site to order a boot? Wanna get her out on the road as soon as possible | ||

Oh, ok. Wow. You can get the "official" boot at your local Harley dealership. Or, from your friendly American Sportbike website: http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/17520.html If you want the SuperBoot that pretty much will do anything you ask of it, the easiest place is Dan's ebay store. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-Blast-Custom-Intake- Boot-/130685956714?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessorie s&hash=item1e6d7d726a&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1413 is what you want. | ||

Just got some cash from a job and ordered it up. I was able to rig the boot it had on tight enough to ride but she is still sputtering (due to leaking from the crappy boot i assume) so we'll see how it likes the new superboot dan figured up |
