is there a differance in these airbox's

[rampimpin]

im looking at trying to buy a stock airbox for my bike its an 82gs1100g the airbox i found is for an 82 gs1100gl they look the same but as i dont have the stock airbox i figured i would ask before i waste money.

The parts cross-reference shows that the '82 1100G airbox is shared with the 1100GK for '82 and '83, but not with the 1100GL.

Not sure what the differences are, but the numbers don't match.

I was under the impression that they were the same as the 850, too, but evidently not.

ok maybe it was the gk it probably.was it looked identicle to mine. i have pods on the bike now and think it would.just be easier to say screw im going stock. i hate headaches and thats all i get when i think about rejetting

[Steve]

The GK is the fully-dressed model from Suzuki, the GL is the "cruiser-style" one with the smaller tank, stepped seat, pull-back bars, chrome fenders, etc.

According to the fiche at alpha-sports they are a different part number.

I have often thought that the different numbers may be a form of tracking stock usage.

thats exactly what i wanted to hear now i have another question i took my carbs off today cleaned them as he manual says. as i took the carbs off the boot that attaches to the block the intake boots look worn one was flopping around is there a good place to buy new boots without spending alot i just keep finding problem after problem its only one that looks bad

[Steve]

If the intake boots are damaged, they need to be replaced.

Sorry, but it's also a good idea if you replace them all.

Even sorrier, they are $25-30 each.
