I can't find any mention of what year your GS1000 is.
Whatever, have a look on www.cruzinimage.net for carb boots.
The quality of parts from them is usually good, unless you really want to pay through the nose for OEM ones, if they're still available.
78-79-ish...
80 onwards...

You can seal these sometimes by painting them with layers of "Flex-Seal". That stuff dries into rubber and will seal. Kind of a last resort, but check with some ether to see if the rpm's rise, so that you know this is a problem. I always use the little red rube that sticks into the nozzle so you can pinpoint your blast of ether.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Not sure which variant of the GS1000 you have, but Partzilla still has OEM parts for $35 each, at least for the N. I've pulled the trigger on new rubber the last few projects and it makes carb mounting sooooooooooooo much easier. I don't even think about pulling out the ratchet straps.
