However, you should be aware that there is a reason they are called Bike Bandit.

Bike Bandit sells intake boots for your bike for $34.85

Boulevard Suzuki and G&S Suzuki sell them for $25.72.

Yep, that's a savings of $9.13 EACH. Since you need four of them, your savings would be $36.52.

The best deal that I could find for boots for my 1100ED was thru Babbits out of Michigan. Really fast "standard rate" shipping too.

At $27.88 each, Babbits doesn't win this time: http://www.babbittsonline.com/suzuki...002/5602420003

Whenever I have major shopping to do, I do some major comparison shopping. There are times that Babbits has won, other times it has been G&S. Still other times, it has been somebody else.

You also have to watch what you are buying. When I was shopping for stuff for one bike, Babbits was consistently lower on most of the larger stuff. Where they lost out was on the small stuff. I was getting things like all the bolts, washers, spacers, etc. for gas tank mounting and a bunch of other small hardware. Babbits has a strange policy of pricing EVERYTHING at a minimum of $2.97. I was buying enough of those small parts to drive the total price to more than another vendor.

Comparison shopping is MANDTORY.
