    Rubber intake boots?

    I am trying to purchase the rubber intake boots for my 1980 GS550L "the boots that go from the carbs to the cylinders", does anyone have any ideas on where these can be purchased?
    P.S. - I have tried the search feature but alas I have found none.
    Thanks in advance

    You could try Bikebandit.com or contact a local suzuki motorbike dealership.

      +1 on bikebandit having them. Make sure to get (2) right and (2) left, there is a difference.

        Also get new o-rings that go on the boots.

        motogrid.com is a good bit cheaper than bike bandit, but their shipping is higher.

          Just throwing in that I have found Babbitts is universally cheaper (and tends to ship faster) than Bike Bandit.

            I have been doing a bit of shopping around for all the little bits and pieces that will be necessary to get my son's bike on the road. Yes, Babbitts is cheaper than Bike Bandit, but only on parts that cost more than $3.00. :shock:

            Checking a bunch of little parts like clutch springs, clutch bolts, cam end cover screws, cam tensioner o-rings and some others, all of the other suppliers have these for as little as 76 cents (in the case of the tensioner o-ring), but Babbitts charges $2.97 for all of them. I can understand a minimum charge for your TOTAL order, but not for each part.

              This is where I've been ordering all of my OEM parts for my 1980 GS250 that I'm restoring. I got my intake boots from them and they fit perfectly.



              They have exploded views of each part of your bike and then you order each part one at a time. I've ordered every single part that I've needed.

                Good point, you are right about every bolt, pin, etc... costing $2.97 USD at Babbits. For those I'd use Bike Bandit. On the other hand, an Igniter that is $312.00 on BB is $270.00 on Babbitts. Point taken.
