Carb Boots
I would recommend Brad at Power Addictions billet boots. I ran Pro-X boots for awhile. I have seen people run Pro-X boots and put a spring or wire to the head then to the carbs to pull them up slightly. But, I have also seen the boots rip after awhile of riding from this. I have the Power Addictions boots and have had no problems.

dude i dont know how many threads you are going to start about this same topic. i have posted and posted and shown pictures of the 2001 gen 2 800 carb boots for the iqr 800bb motors are the way to go. with this set up there was enough room to run the factory airbox or pods with plenty of clearance to the jack shaft. just run these and you will be set.

bart, I tried gen2 rmk boots from an '01 with brad's plate and they absolutely would not work in mine until I flipped the boots upside down. Then I made my own airbox. I'm curious to see how you got those boots to work right side up because my carbs were not even close to fitting

X2! My carb boots got so wore out that they didn't hold the carbs? I got brads number, I will give him a call
gen 2 boots
Brads adapters work great to because they are so short. i had good luck with the gen 2 boots. i just put the 800 rubbers in the air box and slid it on.

it was brads plate in an 07 chassis.
i realize there has been a lot of debate about this and i cant seem to figure out why but it seems chassis to chassis are different to some extent. i also built an 06 and the prox boots worked great. but in my 07 chassis the pro ex boots would let the pods rub on the jack shaft. same exact setup otherwise. keep in mind both of these sleds were raced prior to this conversion but i would hope that the chassis were not that tweaked. its just one of those things where every sled and plate combo my be slightly different. if the motor mount surface is different by a couple degrees or the tabs on the motor plate are different by a couple degrees, over the 12in or so leaver arm length of the plate would equate to a significant difference in height between the carbs and jackshaft.
thats what worked for me though.

brads boots are about the only thing that works regardless of what u run. i ran the pro x boots and ruined a set of filters cause they rubbed on the jack shaft. some people get them to work with puttin spacers on the motor mounts but that throws ur cc off. i highly suggest brads carb boots
Adam did you fit the pipes and what brand are they? I am going to have a fab. guy fit my pipes so the underhood air plenum does not melt onto the pipes.
Thanks for the info.-mike
