    Cheapest place to buy intake boots

    Three out of four of my intake boots are cracked. The local dealer can get them by Friday for $28 each. IS this my best option? Any info would be great.

    That's a little high. Bike Bandit is about $24.62 each. Motogrid.com charges $20.43 but shipping is higher than BB.

    Whatever you decide to do, don't forget to get the o-rings that go with the boots.

      Support your local dealer?

      Hi Mr. deerejohn,

      Sometimes paying a couple bucks more is worth it for the convenience. It depends on what I need and how bad/how soon I need it. Then you have to factor in the shipping. I won't hate you if you spend $28 on a boot. :-D


      Thank you for your indulgence,

        just get all four and be done with them... be sure to buy the o-rings behind the boots while your at it... Factory or Robert Barr.

          My dealer doesn't charge for shipping so I usually go that route and end up saving a few bucks.

            I got them from the local dealer. Moto Grid was just over $20, so I asked the dealer if they do competitive pricing and they matched it. :-D

            Thansk for all your help guys.

              Matched it! I wish my dealer was that good. I'd go back in the future if I were you and count yourself lucky.

                You know, it would help a LOT on these sorts of questions if you would care to reveal what sort of machine you have... there are many different kinds of GS intake boots.

                For a 1980-83 GS850, they're just $18.87 each at Flat Out Motorcycles.
