I'm being lazy but I know someone has figured out where to get OEM style clamps to work with the larger carbs. I'd like to replace both sides of the carb and the airbox boot clamp. Figured I'd check to see if anyone on here knows what works before looking at OEM dirt bike carb and intake parts.

You're just looking for hose clamps?

Yes. Not bar clamps....lol. Want the OEM stuff. Not the traditional screw type hose clamp.
Figured you guys may have a part number before I start wasting money on things that won't fit or work.

Want this type of clamp:

I know you want oem but just a suggestion i like to use stainless steel T-clamps. Maybe cr250/500 would fit?

I never thought about finding OEM ones to fit - I just use the ones from the local hardware store and zinc plate them as needed

I use these stainless ones from McMaster, wayyy better than the thin flimsy OEM junk with stupid phillips head that strips out lol! Also you can see the 36mm PWK A/S from a KTM I'm using.

Mx, those are nice, and they look like they're not as wide as the typical hardware store clamps? That was what I didnt like about hardware store ones, the width was always fatter than needed, or what the intake boots and tubes were designed for.

Those are pretty nice! Is that wire loom from McMaster as well?

The clamps work great, 3/8" wide fits the boots properly and smooth on the inside so they don't chew up the rubber.

The sleeving is also from there, they have a ton to choose from I think I went with the expandable mesh easy cut polyester.
