    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Hello,
Posted a Q on here a few days ago and found that I would need new boots that span fron Air Cleaner Box to Carbs. Being new to this Where is the best Place to pick these up (Price, Shipping)?
They are for a '80 GS850G.
Another silly Q while I'm at it. Is the only jet, needle, screw that is to be turned out from lightly seated the Air Screw on the outside body of the carb, or do I need to turn out any others?
^Thanks

Flat Out Motorcycles has great prices, but you WILL wait for them. Seems like they use the comcast turtles for delivery.

Or buy local, if prices are close. Building a relationship with your shop is worth a little more premium IMO. They know alot, and may not be around if we go all-online.
 
I ordered the exact same item also for my 1980 GS850G. From Flatout, they were 8.86 each, shipping was $9.50. Total cost for the four boots was $44.94.

I placed my order last Tuesday, May 5, and have yet to receive the e-mail that says the order has even been shipped. So, yeah, their prices really are good, but you do have to have some patience apparently 'cause they get them from Suzuki, but don't generally have in stock the kinds of things our old bikes need.
 
My last few orders from flat out have shipped quickly. Maybe with the slow economy they have more cycle time in their day to ship out the parts quickly? At any rate, they are my go to company for parts now because they save a significant amount of money.
