I was assuming a harder rubber if theyre being sealed with a hose clamp around the carb output.
Seems like you still would want a carb brace on there though just to keep the weight off that hose clamp joint?..no?
I mean Ive ridden around for a while before I realised I needed a carb brace that the previous owner never put on. So i know its not a big deal really. Just seems like the brace wasnt in the way or hurting anything...no?
