Carb mounts for '92 Honda CBR600-F2

I need a set of the rubber couplers to mount the carbs on the cyl. head.
Or if there is a solution that I don't know about let me know.

They're called intake manifolds and are only about $60 for all four.

I can't recommend a solution if you don't tell me what problem you're trying to solve ;-)

A cheaper solution is what I meant. Three of the old ones are hardened and cracked and I believe that is what is giving me my lean condition and not allowing the bike to reach highway speeds and backfiring on deceleration.
Some other things I found is that the previous owner must have installed the wrong plugs. Being that there is no service record of the bike I'm going to rebuild/clean the carbs as well.

It's not uncommon for them to harden with time.
Since they're specific to the F2 only, any secondhand ones you find aren't going to be significantly younger than yours.
Which plugs are standard and what were in it?

The required plugs:

NGK CR9EH-9

What was in the bike:

CHAMPION G59C
-----------------------
The obvious thing between the 2 plugs was that the Champion's electrode was not sticking out as far as the NGK's, and the li'l arm ended half way across the electrode.

That's the correct plug for all CBR600F's.

When I get a chance I'll take a pic of the 2 plugs so you can see the difference. If that would be necessary that is.
