    Anybody know why there would be such a price difference? The bikebandit site has several different sizes. Would anybody happen to know what size fits the 79 GS1000?

    an extra "5"?

    did you ask Z1?
    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

      $125 is the usual price we all pay for good quality intake boots. I've never heard of anyone using those 'things' from BikeBandit, I know I wouldn't chance them, there's a lot of heat being generated there and those boots are an integral part to your bike running, not a place you want to go for the "they were so cheap I couldn't resist" parts.

        If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing

          Click HERE to see the proper ones from Bike BANDIT. $40.07 each (they claim $44.08 retail), making them just over $160 for the set.

          On the other hand, you can also get the proper ones from Boulevard Suzuki for $30.06 or from G&S Suzuki for $29.58. Both of those places claim that retail is $40.07.

          You pay your money, you take your choice.

            The OEM boots are offset, there are left and right boots. If you get the straight through universal boots the carb spacing won't match the boot spacing.
