    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

However, you should be aware that there is a reason they are called Bike Bandit.

Bike Bandit sells intake boots for your bike for $34.85

Boulevard Suzuki and G&S Suzuki sell them for $25.72.

Yep, that's a savings of $9.13 EACH. Since you need four of them, your savings would be $36.52. :eek:

The best deal that I could find for boots for my 1100ED was thru Babbits out of Michigan. Really fast "standard rate" shipping too.

Whenever I have major shopping to do, I do some major comparison shopping. There are times that Babbits has won, other times it has been G&S. Still other times, it has been somebody else.

You also have to watch what you are buying. When I was shopping for stuff for one bike, Babbits was consistently lower on most of the larger stuff. Where they lost out was on the small stuff. I was getting things like all the bolts, washers, spacers, etc. for gas tank mounting and a bunch of other small hardware. Babbits has a strange policy of pricing EVERYTHING at a minimum of $2.97. I was buying enough of those small parts to drive the total price to more than another vendor.

Comparison shopping is MANDTORY.
