    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Trying to make a GS850GT machine running again.
The shaft drive boot is destroyed. (OEM part number 61372-45103)
Partzillia, Z1, Bikebandit, ebay; I searched them all; no one seems to have neither an NOS nor aftermarket to replace this part number which seems common to GS850G & 1000G from '79 to '81.
I think I can save the clamp but the spring has been replaced by a tye-rap...
Looking for advices: would a '82 GS650 like this or the 61372-45300 like this fit?
What should I search for?
Thx

What you need is a friendly parts man at an autoparts store, who'll let you browse through books of driveshaft gaiters for cars, because I'm utterly certain there will be one or two that will be exact or close enough to stretch. Also, these gaiters are used in industrial machines, so that's another avenue.
Failing that, try finding online catalogues of rubber boot makers, and maybe even somebody like Gates (of drivebelt fame) makes them, too.
I'd be interested if you find something, because at some point I'll need one or two, also.
In fact, I'll start looking too.
 
The drive shaft boot from the 650G looks very close to the 850G. I pulled one from a parts bike for future attempt at fitting it. Someday soon I'll get around to doing the swingarm bearings, and will check fittment then.

The part numbers are different though. 650G seems to be the only model to use 61372-34300 while the 850G part 61372-45300 was on several bigger models.

Hmmm, I thought those links would take you to the search results. Just copy the part numbers from here and paste into the search on Alphasports site.

Just to close the loop on this thread;
I found a still good boot at a decent price from a parting out in my region.
Thanks for your suggestions.
NB: Alphasports.com didn’t had any neither at the time I asked them.
