    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

(1980 Gs750E) Found a tear in one of my carb boots from previous owners use of hose clamps verses the proper clamp. They have been replaced with new ones at some time, but.... after searching online for relacement I have a question. I noticed that there are rt. and lf. and I checked bike bandit for part number comparison. Will GS1100 boots fit a GS750E? There are many for sale on line, most seem to be from 1100 bikes. A decent used one will do till I get funds for 4, I have the tear moved over the carb lip and the clamp is sealing it temporarly, so no leak and running good now, she was whistling though from that tear.
 
IIRC, the 750 tubes are slightly smaller. Perhaps one of the nice forum members has a good used one for you.
I have a bunch of good used 1100 tubes if those will work.
 
First of all, do yourself a favor, ... ignore Bike BANDIT. They are the second-most expensive vendor available and are the only ones that use their own part numbering scheme, making it hard to do any comparisons.

Second, restrict your search for intake boots to '80-'83 750s.

Just for reference, BANDIT's price for those boots is $18.66.

The same item at Parts Outlaw is $15.47.

Not a real big difference, but when you go to check out, enter the word "BANG" in the promo box, they will reduce their flat-rate shipping charge of $9.99 down to FREE.

This is one of the few times you can be thankful that you don't have one of the larger shafties, that same part is $27.16.

750 is smaller on both sides.
an 1100 boot is a 492 i believe and an 1150 is a 00A.
i forget the 750 boot marking's.
you can use a left or right either one...just flip it around.

i think the 750 boots are marked 454..

Steve, I've never ordered from B/B and don't plan to, just use as a referance. Hence the word "bandit", I always use 1980 when doing a search, manifold changed within a few years. some of the vendors/sellers state 750/1100 but I saw the numbers were differant on the boots.
