    80 gs850 Intake manifolds

    Hi, I have a 1980 GS850 with CV carbs. The factory manifolds are junk, kind of to be expected since I picked the bike up for cheap, but running (barely). My question is, does this manifold/boot cross with anything else, new ones are out of my reach at the moment due to financial reasons, and decent used ones on ebay are as rare as hen's teeth. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Greetings and Salutations!!

    Hi Mr. 84GS850,

    Sorry, but the OEM Suzuki "intake pipes" are the only game in town. Any substitute will be only a temporary fix. I strongly encourage you to save up your mad money and do it right the first time. Have a look at the Air Intake Repair guide on my little website. You'll find lots of Gs850G goodness there.

    Anyway, let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'.

    I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

    Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome".

      Well, crap....that's what I figured, but it never hurts to ask. Thank you for the welcome, and the info on your site, I read a large portion of it last night via my cell phone......might have gone through all of it, but the squinting to see it turned to fighting to keep eyes open, and soon gave way to sleep.

        Hi,

        I suppose it's possible that someone mght have an old, but usable set laying around in their garage. Ask around ind the Parts Wanted section, check the Parts For Sale section.

        Thank you for your indulgence,
