I may need to look at a different air boot that comes off the air box a little farther so I won't have this problem happen again. Do you know if there is another boot with the same hole pattern that sticks out a little farther? If not, I may have to modify my air box again.
As far as the head gasket goes, I had it installed correctly. So I'm still concerned about my cooling issues. I know now that I was losing coolant from my base gasket but I'm not sure why the bike would be running at 237! I took the water pump off and everything looked good. I may have to rethink my radiator hose routing.
I really appreciate the support guys! :lol:

There is no coolant at the base gasket, thought a air leak there would it to run lean and overheat

I will be using the 2000 boot for my 07 conversion.
The 98-99 boot is on the left and the 2000 is on the right.
crooscroos:
Judging by my spark plug, it doesn't look like my bike is running lean but I could be wrong.
Is the 98-99 boot longer than the 2000? I don't want to stretch my air boot like the previous one so I'm hoping to find a boot that will reach a little farther!
sandblaster:
Post a pic of your piston top.
That will tell us a lot.
I don't think the 98-99 is much if any longer but it is fatter and is squeezed more in the frame.
I tried many different boots but kept coming back to the 2000
