    Airbox to carb boots..GS 1000

    Im about 99.9% sure these will fit the 78 1000C Im rebuilding but the "vehicles it fits" list goes as late as 1980 and doesnt list any 78 models. I once read that the 77 and 78 750 boots were the same also..can anyone confirm if the Ebay ones are correct?? Can anyone thats used the ones listed in the parts fiche for the 750s confirm the fitment???

    MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
    1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Chuck, IIRC, when I purchased new ones for my 79 1000E, I got them from Z1 and they were supposed to be fitted to a 750. Apparently the same carbs and I had no problems with them.

            This. Suzuki never sold the 1000 boots for VM carbs separate to the airbox. The 750 boots fit well - the 'trumpets' inside the airbox are about 5mm shorter but it doesn't affect performance at all

              Yeah..didnt consider the whole VM versus CV throat diameters being different. So that being ruled out..since the 79 850 had VM carbs i found these from Japan....anyone see anything that would eliminate these as candidates??? I mean for $21.00 a set its surely more affordable.

                Chuck, I'm pretty sure the '79 has VM carbs. CV's weren't used until 1980.
