79 gs850 intake manifold boots

[Guest]

Hey guys, recently picked up a 79 gs850, and upon putting the bike back together (got it in pieces) noticed 2 of the 4 boots from the head to carb were destroyed and falling apart. I jumped onto eBay and found a set, but the 130.00 price tage steered me away. Is there another place that is significally cheaper, or maybe another bike that has them? This seems to be an uncommon model in my area as I am having a hard time locally finding them. Thanks in advance for any tips or info.

Try Z1 Enterprises. They run about $25 each I think, and you will have to get the O rings for them as well. I know they are more in Canada now as the dollar is way down. Where are you located?

I have a set I bought, thinking they would fit. They are new, never used, not installed.. $100 shipped? Orings and clamps included. I think I paid 130. But I will check for sure.

check the measurements on them and if its the right size, i will take them for sure. Paypal?

THE 79 850 HAD vm 26 carbs which means it uses the same boots as the 750 and 1000 you can get new ones here

That's what I thought. I found the site as well but was a little confused on purchasing. I just contact them and say which ones I want and a credit card number? How do the give you a receipt? I like the idea it's a upgrade product as well.
