    83 GS850 Carb intake boots: Affordable alternative?

    My 83 850 is in need of new carb intakes. Genuine OEM are pricey, but I understand the difference in quality between the Suzuki intakes and aftermarket ones.

    I came across these https://www.cruzinimage.net/2017/10/...akes-included/ and based off the image, they appear to be the same as OEM, but there's only one picture and you can't see much detail. Description states they are reproduction, but wouldn't the current new OEM be considered reproduction as well? Has anyone purchased these, or can anyone confirm they are the same as genuine Suzuki intakes?

    If no one knows, I'd be willing to gamble and order a set to find out. The set currently on the bike are some Chinese ebay ones which came with my 81 850. I put them on to get me by, but they're already dry rotting after about a year or so. I can compare to these chinese ones but I don't have good OEM ones to compare to.

      Thanks for the feedback. I guess I should have done a search first, I came across a few threads. Also, I realized I posted this in the wrong section, oops...

      I'll have to give these a try.

        These look okay. Very cheap, so quality might be dodgy. Worth a try for this money:

          I'm 99% certain that's what I already have, and they've started cracking/dry rotting in about a year.
