Intake Boots

[Basketcase2156]

First things last I am new to the site and have enjoyed scouring through the site over the past couple or days. I wish i would have found it a year ago when this project began. I have already found a lot of great info. I was wondering if someone knew a good place to buy intake boots for my '82 GS1100GL. I have looked through the site but couldn't find much. I normally use Bikebandit or Sudco. Bikebandit has them but they are 32$ EA. If any one had any ideas or knew where I could find some decent used ones I would greatly appreciate it.

I just bought some for mine from G&S Suzuki for $102 shipped.

That seems to be a good website. It's menu is a lot like Bikebandit's but the prices are better. When you ordered these did they come with new o-rings or would I have get them also?

I haven't opened my package yet but you'll want to order new ones. I think www.cycleorings.com (Rob Barr is a member here and owner of the site) will have them.

Greetings and Salutations!!

Hi Mr. Basketcase2156,

You'll find a fairly extensive vendor list below in your "mega-welcome". I've found that Partshark, Z1, and G&S Suzuki generally have the lowest prices. But shop around a little and consider taxes and shipping in the total cost.

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS850G lovin'.

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

Thank you for the "MEGA-WELCOME"! There is a world of information on these pages. I have learned more in the past three days than in the last year of rebuilding my bike. I found her litterally in boxes all over a friends garage. That's why she's called Basketcase. I was told I could have her if I thought she would run. Well, a year later and about 900$ in she runs like the dickens. She had 3600 original miles now she's at 5100. 1200 of that in the past month. She still has far to go but it's one step at a time. Currently it's the floating idle that's got me.

If anyone was wondering this is what she looks like today. I'm going for Hod Rod with a hint of Rat. Thanks again and I'm sure I will be on here with many more questions in the future.
