    Best Place For Parts?

    Hello,
    Posted a Q on here a few days ago and found that I would need new boots that span fron Air Cleaner Box to Carbs. Being new to this Where is the best Place to pick these up (Price, Shipping)?
    They are for a '80 GS850G.
    Another silly Q while I'm at it. Is the only jet, needle, screw that is to be turned out from lightly seated the Air Screw on the outside body of the carb, or do I need to turn out any others?
    ^Thanks

    Flat Out Motorcycles has great prices, but you WILL wait for them. Seems like they use the comcast turtles for delivery.

    Or buy local, if prices are close. Building a relationship with your shop is worth a little more premium IMO. They know alot, and may not be around if we go all-online.

      I ordered the exact same item also for my 1980 GS850G. From Flatout, they were 8.86 each, shipping was $9.50. Total cost for the four boots was $44.94.

      I placed my order last Tuesday, May 5, and have yet to receive the e-mail that says the order has even been shipped. So, yeah, their prices really are good, but you do have to have some patience apparently 'cause they get them from Suzuki, but don't generally have in stock the kinds of things our old bikes need.

          My last few orders from flat out have shipped quickly. Maybe with the slow economy they have more cycle time in their day to ship out the parts quickly? At any rate, they are my go to company for parts now because they save a significant amount of money.
