That is just a low down, dirty cheap shot trick.
They are worth the dirt we ride on.

ANYONE GOT A PAIR to sell?
Some RAT took the 2 handlebar (clutch & brake)lever boots of my 1991 Wing.
They slip over the levers & over the pivot nuts for weather protection.
THANKS!

The "PROBLEM IS" it almost had to be another Wing rider, who else would need that particular shape of boot?
If it were a disgruntled Harley rider they'd find some other thing to sabotage, not take.
ANY thoughts on a near perm/temp fix?

If you made a mold shape to fit the thing on, there is a tape out there that forms a solid rubberized mass, overnight. Bad part is the stuff is extra expensive and hard to come by. Something in the neighborhood of $14 / roll.
It is used in the telecommunications and electrical power industries and as far as I know, not commercially available yet.
I'm actually working on locating a manufacturer and stocking it as one item in my product line. The few rolls I have, came to me underground and I greedily horde it. Someone told me they sold this stuff at Lowes once, but I have never seen it there.
It is black, stretchy and only sticks to itself. You stretch it 200% and wrap it on itself.
The next day, if you cut it apart it retains the shape you wrapped it in and no longer separates from itself. I think it is silicone based.
Good stuff for this type of need if you can find it. If anyone does find it, I'd love to hear about where it was found and for how much.
Here is a shot of it being used to encapsulate the relay pack I now offer as part of the aux power system kit.

Hey Rudy: THANKS! Yah I'm considering on making up something to protect the piviot screw.I'll probably use my OLD & TRUSTED black plastic oil bottle to shape up a hood.
It's easily folds without breaking and holds it's new shape. It's heat reformable to a point. And with a plastic welder it mends rather well.
Best part is it's black and when I use 150 to 320 sandpaper I can get that satin look like the rest of the bikes parts.
But I'd still prefer the original rubber parts, some parts are really hard to beat.

What about covering the desired area with saran wrap and then coating it with several coats of liquid tape?
Rudy, that tape has been around for quite some time. I know in NZ they've been using it for 30+ years, however I've never seen it outside the industry. We always refered to it as rubber tape. It does not like oil, I do know that.

Rudy,
There is a product called Vapor Wrap made by Decibel Products that has been available for decades. It works just like you said.
Except, that it will also stick to whatever you put it on. but, it is removable without a lot of effort.
We use it on coax connectors to make them water proof in the rain. That is what it was designed for initially.
Here is one form of it, also expensive.

I just found out that Decibel Products was bought out by Andrew, so this is the same stuff I have been using for decades.

Tape & Cold Shrink Tubing $95.00:shock: EEeeeYOWIES!!
I already have "Liquid Tape" (L.T.) on hand, NEVER though of it... be so much faster than my plastic Oil bottle trick. With L.T. I can make an accordion bellows look & work similar to the original.
NICE JOB GUYS & GALS, very helpful to this budding Alzheimer's :? patient. :clapper:

Rescue Tape is wonderful stuff. I keep it in the saddle bags in the event of who knows what. I used it to rebuild the wiring harness that someone had butchered adding in trailer lights. It is available from better hardware stores (not Home Depot or Lowes) or from their website. You can even get it off Amazon!

Stuff I use is called Magic Wrap, looks like a roll of black electrical tape but all my vehicles have it in the glove box... Did a quick search on google and found this website, but you should be able to pick it up at Wally World with no issues.

It is good stuff for sure.
I'll try to find it locally. Thanks
Yup... found the 1" wide stuff at Lowes. $8/roll
Doesn't look like they carry the 2" wide rolls, however.

Hey Rudy,
I have seen a tape in Wal-Mart, harware, near all their tape products that is a rubber repair tape that definately seals to itself. They advertize it can be used for almost anything including plumbing repairs. It can be stretched pretty good and looks like it would seal electrical components. I carry a roll on the bike. It feels like a rubber product. Sells for about $5.

Look to see if maybe those boots are down the cables out of sight. Only way to get them off is to either detach the cables or cut them. If they were cut off they are now useless. I find it hard to believe someone would go through the trouble of reattaching your cables, or that they would cut them if they really wanted to use em.
Follow the cables down, you just might find yer missing parts.

Most thieves don't have too much going on up top or they wouldn't be doing what they do. :doh:Look to see if maybe those boots are down the cables out of sight.

I'm with Broke Winger,
I was thinking the same thing, Then I went out to the shed to look at my Bike and mine can't be removed without cutting them or removing the cables.
Grab a flashlight and take a look see. Or have a kid follow the cables down with thier small hands and see if they slid down into the fairing area.
Good Luck

Ahhhh, I now see that this is an old thread from back in Aug.
Sorry, But still wondering if the covers were down there.
