I considered it lol. Honestly I could probably leave it as is and it would be fine for another year, but I'm rejetting the carb so might as well, ya know?

The boot came in, but unfortunately it's a little too big... The bolts fit, and all the openings are the right sizes, but it's metal, so you can't really bend it in any way. Also it points either up, or down depending on how you mount it, but the OEM boot points in, towards the inside of the bike. Just wanted to let you know. It might fit better if you have an aftermarket carb though...

Dammit...thanks for the heads up. I will keep looking and buy the next one. Chinese rubber never lasts very long, and this is something I will need to deal with sooner than later. I have the ability...I may just build one if forced, and utilize a section of straight hose for the carb connect. In the meantime, you can smear some "Right Stuff" rtv sealant on the exterior of your boot to re-seal it temporarily. |

I found another boot that miiiight fit. It comes in in about a week. I'll let you know if it fits. I spent HOURS looking for something that may fit. Really surprised there aren't any direct replacement made for the templar, considering it's a fairly popular bike outside of the US. Worst comes to come I'll just have to contact xpro and ask. Not sure how that's gonna go though, since I didn't buy the bike from them...
Oh and also the nibbi boot that didn't quite fit; people in the reviews were saying that they cut theirs to fit better. So I guess that's an option too? I was considering making a Frankenstein boot out of a bunch of parts hose clamped together, but I'd rather get something as a one piece mold ya know? Quote:

We’ve all been there, but it gets so nasty with heat over time and becomes a gummy mess. I’m stoked to hear that Nibbi boot fits. I’m going to order it this week.

Just a heads up, while the nibbi boot does technically fit, you might wanna look on the second page of the thread... Some bad news, unfortunately.
