Proper intake boots for 34mm RS carbs on GS1000 Head

philosopheriam said:
Yes they do - I work down the street from McMaster. Stainless shoulder bolts in metric are almost $7 per bolt...

Dude, that's like $56 how much are you spending to have the head work done and then buy the proper boots?
 
Take a look at these two descriptions and let me know what you think - they look identical except for the type of groove at the end of the boot. They also look to be the same height but this dimension is not shown on Z1's website...

Dudes,

I'm not opposed to spending the $$$ - just wanted to explore all of my options first.

Also, hashing out all of this crap now may help someone else in the future...
 
Do you have a price for the proper Mikuni boots? they would be a perfect fit but i bet they are quite expensive.
 
wow, they are much cheaper than i thought they would be. I think i might opt for a set of those instead of the ones i was eyeing up on ebay.

Once I get the boots I will size up the proper bolts from Mcmaster and post the part number on here... I may opt for a shoulder bolt with a low-profile head. I need to see how "thick" the flange is on the new boot so I can order a bolt with the proper shoulder height. Also, even though the shoulder bolt has a wide head, 13mm, I would still like to put a washer underneath it so the bolt isn't turning against the rubber coating on the boot...
 
Don't forget anti-seize compound esp with SS threading into Aluminum.
 
you will find that a washer that fits over the shoulder will be far to big to fit in the recess in the rubber. typically an 8mm washer is around 13mm minimum diameter.
A better option that i would use is to make up some small spacers, 6mm id by 8.5mm od, same thickness as the boot flange. then you would be able to use standard size 6mm bolts and washers to clamp it down tight.

I will measure this once the boots arrive - my existing boots have just enough room for a 13mm washer or bolt head. I'm hoping the new boots will be the same...
 
For the record, these fasteners work perfectly with the Mikuni boots:
