You mean on the airbox boots that connect to the carb? If so, then yes, done it many times on my older bikes. You should be able to pick up something that will work at your local auto parts/hardware store. I suggest your take the boot with you.

Size? Sorry Loc, don't have it off hand but if you give me an hour or two, I can post the measure with pics. It will save you the trouble of taking it apart again. Please stand by.

I just used one of those $2 worm clamps at an auto parts store. I think it was like 2" in diameter. I trust the seal more now than with the stock clamp too.

I came across this picture in the faq that shows the size of the clamp to be 32-57 mm.
