      I have spare O-rings the size you need. Send me a PM if you want to discuss.

              I'm in the process of looking for those for my '80 GS550. For the o-rings themselves, I read that you need a special material that starts with V...I can't remember but if you search for o-rings you'll find it, or it should be on BassCliff's site. The boots, I priced through Bike Bandit, and through Babbits, and found that Babbit's price was lower initially, but their shipping was higher, so overall Bike Bandit was a better price, but since I live in Canada, the taxes and duty and currency conversion ate up whatever money I was saving by ordering from the US, so it's about the same to get everything I need from my local dealership.

                I believe I've got o-rings for both the '79 and '80 GS550. PM me the specific part number your looking for or the exact model and I can check for you.

                The material is Viton and you're in luck! I'm still running my "Goodwill Free Set for Noobs" sale! Yep, if I've got 'em I'll mail you a set for free.

                Normally its $5.50 to my paypal or a $5 bill and a sase mailed to me.

                  The O-ring material is called Viton. Holds up to heat better than Buna-N O-rings.

                    Any bearing and seal supplier. Get the Suzuki part number, the metric size is in the last part of the number and then ask for Viton o-rings of that size, or take your old ones to them.
