    airbox hoses/holders

    I am looking for airbox outlet hoses/tube outlet boots. Part # 13881-45030 and part # 13882-45030.

    Suzuki has discontinued them. What options do I have?

    1981 GS850Lx
    Airbox has outlet tube on the bottom of air box.

    Thanks!

    Cruzinimage is close, but no cigar. However, somebody on here might know if the 750 or 1000 ones will fit.

      If you haven't thrown the old boots away you can probably rejuvenate them. According to many car and motorcycle restoration sites including a couple of threads here on GSR soaking in a solution of Wintergreen oil (1 part) and alcohol (3 parts) for a day or two will restore original shape and flexibility. I need to do it for the air box boots on one of my 850s.

      I had to order the Wintergreen oil (aka methyl salicylate) from Amazon. It should arrive today. To read up on the process and locate sources try searching on the term 'wintergreen oil and rubber'.
