    Hit the normal stores like Parts Outlaw, your local dealer, Z1 maybe, etc. etc. Although extremely expensive for their parts, www.Alpha-sports.com has an excellent fiche.

      I looked today for them this morning for a 1100G. $37 each at Bike Bandit. about a 50% price hike from the last time I bought them, maybe 7 0r 8 years ago. on an 850, they are usually a lot more, because on an 850, the balance test port is on the boot, not on the head.

          They are stock. You should verify the bolt hole size and center to center distance before you go that way.

          I just checked because my brother was talking about the GS1100G I gave him in '09.

            Yes, the 1150 carbs are 36mm. The 1150 carb boots are not the bolt on style though.

              I see that now. Im wondering if the new boots will stretch over the bigger carbs. My 1000g runs the same boots as the 11g. But theyre old and hard so definitely no stretching.

                Look at Mikuni manifolds in the Sudco catalog....

                I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.
