I came up with a pretty easy way to remove the throttle body boots without prying, cutting, and damaging anything. All you need is an air compressor, air Chuck tool, and an extension for the nozzle. Some lb blaster on the edge of the boots then slip the tip of the air Chuck under the edge and blast it with air! They pop off as easy as removing your hand grips with the air method. Hope this helps someone.....oh yeah, it won't work on bikes with 300k miles on them
