    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hello everyone. In the process of rebuilding a 81 GS850. I need to rebuild the carbs. The boots between the carbs and the motor are beat. If I read properly the GS850 was built from 78-82. The boots for the 81 I've found are 130+ bucks. Found a set for 80 or so for a 79. Will they work or does anyone have a place to get them cheaper. Thanks everyone for any help you can give.
 
Yep, the 79's used VM carbs and are not the correct size. The Partsoutlaw.com site has a good price and if you use promo code BANG you'll get shipping for $1.
 
Rob, I have some parts for an 81 GS 850 i wont be using ,need something let me know.
 
Right now I need a good set of carb boots. Not crazy about 130 bucks but they are kind of important to have good ones
 
You can get a new set for right at $100 from Partsoutlaw.com. One dollar shipping if you use Promo Code: BANG during checkout.

Item 25 and 26. They are different part numbers marked L and R.
 
I got a set of Suzuki OEM boots,o-rings and new allen bolts for $ 150.00 from Z1 Enterprises,that includes shipping got here pretty quick too
 
I could use some carb boots and air box boots. Got an 80 gs850. Not really digging the eBay prices or quality.
