    Intake O-rings

    i ordered intake o rings for my 82 gs1100gk from Mr. Barr and now when i try to put them on they wont stay.its not like they are to tight, i can get them in the groove but they wont stay.theres no way i can get them to stay long enough to put the boots back onto the motor.they just seem to roll out of the groove. has any one had this problem or am i just being difficult lol . thanks...Pat

          How long ago did you order them? I had a mistake on the website that listed 38mm for the 1100 intakes. They should be 40's, and it's been changed to reflect that.

          Just email me your actual mailing address and I'll send a copy of the correct items.

          Sorry! Huge error on my part.

            That's what I was thinking, too -- the correct size doesn't need to be stretched into place or anything.

                Robert is making it right as the new ones are in the mail,and i suggest to any one and everyone to by your o rings from Mr. Barr.He has been great to deal with. and as for cutlass maybe your email didnt reach him for some reason i would suggest because from day one i havent had any problem and he has taken care of me to the extreme.never have heard any negative about him or his products and if theres a screw up he will fix it as he done for me.

                  2nd on that. I ordered an O ring kit and it deteriorated after a year. I emailed Robert about it, his supplier had given him the wrong quality parts, he sent me new ones and I had them in 2 days.
