cant find carb boots!

[Anonymous]

I need to replace my carb boots (all of em!) cause of cracks and air leaks but I can't find them anywhere. Have looked at DennisKirk, BikeBandit, Old Bike Barn, Cycle-Re-Cycle...... just dont know where else to look!

Any suggestions?

Looks like you can still get them from Suzuki.

Bike Bandit has them as well.

Carb to head - http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit...e~GS1100ET.asp
number 23 and 24 $10.00 each

Good prices, good customer service

I just got rubber boots for both sides of the airbox and the clamps from the below. Good prices but $100.00 is the min order (not a problem for me I always need parts).

crotch rocket.com has good prices, but I hear there can be issues with shipping times. I've had decent luck with my one order, but I wasn't in a hurry either.

worst case you could try what i did on my 850, at least from the airbox to the carbs I used some radiator hose from a large truck. one piece 2" ID and one piece 2" OD, slip one inside the other, trim so as not to obstruct air to the many vents on the backside of the carbs, and jam them in the airbox and onto the carbs? kinda ghetto, but it seemed to have done the trick for a short time... and only cost $7

I got my boots from Ron Ayers. They were quite a bit cheaper than Bike Bandit, and they were fast too. Just make sure you know the part number before calling them. If you ask them to look up a part for a 1980, they will say they don't deal with bikes that old.
