I took a look at the boots I have which is for a 2000' & 2001' ZX9R and the part numbers are different. Mine is 16065-1365 and your's are 16065-1317 so it looks to be different. Your's are list at Ron Ayer's for $23.xx per boot and mine are around $16.00

Sorry. I thought maybe they would have been the same.

Great! I'm glad you won them. Now your bike should run better with those boots.

ok got the boots in today and got them on. it does rev better and I hit 140 going to the store so It definatly got its power back. now it still doesn't sound the same. I know I have a small exhaust leak but I don't think thats causing it. I'm not getting alot of pops when I decell. I did t the floatbowl mod which had got rid of it before the wreck. I think now its even worse than before. Is there anything internally in the motor that could of been messed up from the wreck.

Trust me, an exhaust leak can make a huge difference in how your bike runs. I had a bad collector gasket on my 750 when I bought it, after replacing That little gasket, I couldn't believe how much smoother it ran.

I use this from carb tun to sync my carbs, a bit pricey but it makes it a snap, also have the extended tubes so it is even easier to connect.

Glad the boots helped, did you ever find the right head light?

I've heard the carbtune brand makes about the best carb synchronizer you can get. I don't know if any of you guys know this, but mercury carb synchronizers will pretty much become obsolete after 2006 because of new federal regulations making mercury a "controlled substance". So go and buy one ASAP if you don't already have one.
