Did you check one of the multitude of on-line OE motorcycle parts sellers like Bike Bandit, Parts Shark, Motogrid, mrcycles, alpha-sports, etc.???Originally posted by Kenb View PostEd

Just as an example: Part #5, part# 61372-45102, $23.20 from Alpha, but they are usually the most expensive.
(It's found on the Rear Swinging Arm fiche.)

I took a quick look at Alpha-Sport site.
(other folks have recommeded Alpha-Sport, so I tried it. Nice site, and look like Suzuki part numbers.)

There is also a oring seal you will probably want to get also. And maybe the clamp.

You only need the boot...The clamp can be reused, the referenced O ring?? is a spring clamp also reusableComment

Yes, they are, indeed, genuine Suzuki part numbers. Bike Bandit seems to be the only one that uses their own numbering system.Originally posted by Redman View Post
PLEASE NOTE, however, that usually the only recommendation for Alpha-Sports is because of the ease of their website. Not sure why, but they seem to have the highest prices.
Example, for that same boot:
Alpha $23.20
Babbitts $15.47
Bike Bandit $19.34
Carolina Cycle $16.07
Full Throttle $17.02
There may be others, these are only the ones on my list.

Go to www.partshark.com and look up the part.
$15.72 for the boot. I've bought several parts for my 79 850 from them. Some of the best prices and good turn around time on shipping.

I repaired a couple of holes in the boot on my bike a couple of years back with Shoe Goo -- didn't feel like waiting for a new one to show up.
It's still holding up just fine!
If yours is falling apart, a new one is obviously not all that expensive -- just a royal pain to install.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
