    For $16 for a set of 4 plus the time, it would be worth the risk. Take a shot, let us know.

      is that a set or EACH as it says?? I think id check cruziniages and see what they have too. And whats up with the radiator hose clamp crap.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        A set of four is the 'each', as in one is four.
        I'd not be too keen on those, as I bought a similar set of cheapies for the XJ900 and on arrival, found them to be really suspect. I haven't bothered fitting them because I'm sure they'll fall apart or the sync tubes will pull out. I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy some OEM ones or hope that cruzinimage eventually gets some in stock.

          It seems to be for each set of four.
          The clamps on my current carb boots seem to be stretch out and bottom out before they are tight.

            Any more recent expereince/report....?

            OEM Intake boots for 1100G:
            RH 13110-49100 $32 per each one.
            LH 13120-49100 say No Longer Available (strange that one available butr not the other, but, anyway....)

            I see some aftermarket (Moto1988) listed on Amazon and Ebay,
            A kit of 4 including clamps and o-rings, for about $60 USD.

            I s'pose not really much of a need to ask, seems to be only option.

            >>update:
            Just ordered a set of the aftermarket intake boots.
            One thing I dont like is they have appearance of using ordinary hose clamp, and as such doesnt look stock.
            .

              Dave, How did these work out for you? I'm going to need a set for a 1982 1100G. I can't find any on Amazon, but some cheap ones on eBay showing the hose clamps for about $57.
