GS1000G intake rubbers

[Guest]

Does anyone know of a supplier that stocks these parts? I'm hoping to get the bike running by the weekend, and can't find them.

I got mine from BikeBandit. It looks like they want $32.00 ea now, you can most likely find them for less.

I don't know what your Suzuki dealers are like in the US but a local Suzuki dealer here in Australia is where I get a lot of my bits. They are VERY fast to get parts in - if I order in the morning most stuff is in the following day. Their prices are good too, usually.

Otherwise Ebay often has 'em.

Was a set of 4 on Ebay a few days ago for 160.00. A bit high I thought.

Just about ANYWHERE is less than the Bandit. Remember, there is a reason they have that name.

G&S Suzuki has them for $24.22.

You won't have them by the weekend, though.

Thanks for the link Steve. That was the price for mine when I got mine from the Bandit some years ago, seems they want list now.

Fastest by far is your local dealership.

Many Suzuki dealers have web sites with online parts ordering at a discount -- poke around and you'll likely find one. Set shipping to "pick up" and go get 'em -- they should arrive in about three days.

The idea is that if you do the work of looking up your parts and prepay over the web site, they don't have to pay a parts monkey, so you get a discount. If you call or walk in, you pay full price.

Local dealer - brilliant. For some reason, I never thought they would deal with bikes over 30 years old. I went to the local dealer, ordered the parts, and I will have them by friday. Sometimes, the easiest solution is right under your nose....

When I lived in Hazel Park, I exclusively dealt with these guys, Jeff, Allen, David, and Joe are all gearheads and they will GLADLY support your classic Zooks...In fact I did so much business with them that they actually GAVE me an abandoned 82 GS1100GL ..AND passed on the owners info so I could get them to give me the title. Great bunch of guys all the way around.They are at 13 and Ryan in Warren. Quick little jaunt north off 696.

When I'm after factory parts I always go to mrcycles.com. I've never had anything but fast, quality service from them. Their prices and delivery time beats my local dealer 9 time out of 10. Their online microfeche parts manuales can't be beat either.

Most of them will gladly order parts for them, they just don't want to have to work on anything over 10 years old.

Anything that old is likely to have a bunch of rusty nuts and bolts, meaning that stuff will SNAP off, instead of turning off.

Several years ago, my son and I went to the Yamaha dealer to see if they had any of the parts in stock to rebuild his carbs. We had a page printed from one of the online sites with the carb fiche and the list of parts that we needed. The parts guy asked to see the list, since we had part numbers and prices. When he asked where we had gotten those prices, we simply said "Internet". He did some button pushing on his calculator then made us an offer. "Order these through me, I will match these prices. They are just a bit more than I pay for them, so you get your parts (and get them a little quicker) and I get to make a little off the deal, too." Just can't pass up a win-win situation like that.
