    intake boots

    Where can you buy aftermarket rubber intake boots? The current intake boots on my 1980 gs750 have two clamps between the engine and carburetor on the intake, (no bolts, or o-rings). Does that make sense?

    buy genuine suzuki parts, you wont go wrong then
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

            i checked out ones for a 550 (dont know you exact model) they are 48 ea but yours are doubles, on the 1100 i needed 4 and they are singles. I still come out a little better than you on price. (sorry) I guess mine is a simpler design to manufacture. no orings involved or metal parts. Theres probably something thats more expensive for the 1100, but heck none of it is cheap.

              That's because some of the intakes for the 16-valve engines are cast into the head, and only require rubber tubes to connect the carbs to the head.

                    ebay....just make sure to ask the seller if they are soft and plyable first.

                    I had pretty good luck with mine.
