    What is a good source for carb boots?

    Hey all.

    After getting my GK rolling again for the summer. (It did all it could to be dead and stay that way)
    It never ran quite right.

    Felt like the carbs needed cleaning. But maybe more.

    Anyhoo I finally got around to looking into it closer and after spraying some stater fluid on the carb boots (Between the cylinders and carbs) proved that they are leaking as bad as they look.

    So the plan now is to replace the boots fore and aft of the carbs and the O-rings too.
    By good measures I will also do a carb dipping and rebalancing as it as been too long.


    So my question to the Gurus is what is a good supplier? For price and parts that will actually fit and do as advertised?

      Any of the Suzuki OEM’s have them. Partshark, Babbits, Bikebandit etc. failing that your local sewer (laughing that autocorrect changed dealer to sewer) be able to order.
      There isn’t a cheaper or aftermarket solution for the 34’s as yet..

      Expect to pay $120 plus extra for O rings (Robert Barr has those cheaper) and clamps.

      There is an Ebay seller that does them as a kit for $140 ish.

      On the other side I think they are about $20 a pop plus clamps. Again OEM is the only route I know of.
