Where to buy carb boots

[uudfourty]

I'm looking for a set of carb boots for a 1981 GS550, but am not finding. I looked at Z1 and bikebandit, as well as oldbikebarn. Nada.

You guys know any secret headquarters somewhere where they keep all of this? Like a fort knox of carb boots?

Here are a couple of others

There was a recent recommendation here about Carolina Cycle. I have not used them yet but thier prices are the least expensive I have seen so far. I have used World of Cycles and they are not real quick on shipping parts but are not very expensive either. Remember you are ordering 26+ year old parts so I do not think anyone is going to have them on the "shelf". You could also check your dealer for a price. My local dealer is the quickest way to get parts but you do pay a premium price and sales tax for the faster service.

To clarify, these are only available from Suzuki. They are not available as aftermarket parts.

So visit your favorite source for Suzuki parts and order up a set. Don't forget the o-rings, if your model uses them.

Believe it or not, this past year in buying parts for my GS1100G the dealer has been quicker and cheaper in more than a few cases, when you factor shipping costs and shorter turnaround time. We don't have sales tax in NH anyway so that is not a factor. I'm not saying always, just about 40-50% of the time. I would not have believed this was case. Ex: air filter, carb synch adapters, some gaskets, to name a few...and the 2 dealers I've dealt with have been friendly and helpful. surprise...surprise!

550 does use O-rings and Bikebandit sells the boots/O-rings. http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/suzuki-motorcycle-gs550lx-1981/o/m6085

I was just there looking for stuff for my 1981 GS850G. They have the boots for the aircleaner to carb ($7.85 each) and the carb to cylinder head ($18.53 each). Good luck.

That might be true for Suzuki parts (I did not look any of them up), but I am in the process of rebuilding the carbs on my son's Yamaha Venture Royale, so I am getting o-rings, gaskets and diaphragms (all four have pinholes or worse ). I just compared Carolina Cycle's prices to Flatout's prices, and Flatout beat them on every single item. Sometimes not by much, but the total difference was $5.25 per carb.

Perhaps I'm just blind, stupid, or both, but I am not finding carb boots or o-rings at any of these sites. I've emailed all of them with no reply. I'm looking at their schematics for carbs, cylinder head, and air. Nada.

Treat me like a small, tired monkey. Hold my hand. Where?
