Has anyone got an original boost bottle for sale?

Nice pick up dude. As far as boost bottle goes they come up on Ebay now and then. Have you tried the usual NOS suppliers ?

Have you got the manifold with the boost tube port ?? You'll need the tube and the spring that goes over it to protect it from melting on the head.

The tank should have a rebate with two ferrules for the mounting screws if its an H tank.

Bike in transit at the moment, so I can't even take a photo for you $:-\$

Not to worry, I'll keep my eyes peeled on Evilbay.

I'll take some better images later in the week.

The boost bottle bracket which is attached to the under side of the fuel tank looks like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1982-YAMAHA-IT250-250-J-BOOST-BOTTLE-MOUNT-465-YZ-/280693439888?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415aa1fd90

I may have to make my own boost bottle, don't want to buy the wrong one.

Yep, that's the bracket. Could do with a tidy up

Speed and Sport have 8 NOS ones in stock - Only problem is they are $68.50

I'll make one

No worries. I have an old banged up one that I could measure the volume of, but won't have access to it until mid Jan. The volume is the only critical element from what I can work out. Different volumes for different capacities.

What about an empty Nitrous oxide bottle - that would make people look twice

I'm likin' the Coke bottle idea

the volume might not be correct though.

I'll knock up a trick looking aluminium one. Once I find the volume that is. It'll go with the opaque side panels I've just ordered

although there is a little one , the upgrade for a classic roast dinner through the drive through at red rooster i think its around 375/385ml you would be overdoing it with the 600ml, but it might be alright for desert racing

ahhhhh remember the go ol days sunday arvo driving home from the races in the ute with the bikes on the back nursing bruises and bumps , a bottle of coke and a coupla no doze or sinutabs , what driver reviver, another bottle of coke and maybe some chicken legs yeeeeahhh
