need one or two. 1981 GS450 Rubber Carb manifold.

[GmanGS450]

My GS450 cafe racer project is in running order. When I bought the GS450 one of the carb manifolds had a slight crack in it, it was small enough not to be a huge deal, but now after riding it for a bit the crack has grown and is causing issues.

I cant find any good replacement parts online, Wondering if anyone out here has one or two laying around from a parts bike I could purchase.

thanks. like this one...

That's hysterical. They are asking more money for a used one than Suzuki Charges for new ones.

Order them from your local Suzuki dealer. They are $32.82 ea. Get two of them, especially if you have removed the airbox. The airbox supports one end of the carbs. When you remove it, the weight of the carbs is supported by the "intake pipe." Order the O-rings for them, too.

Don't mess around with used ones. They deteriorate with age and won't be much better than what you have.

Thank you sir, I will do so this weekend. Now iam thinking it may be good to make a bracket that supports the carbs from the top frame tube.

I thought about that, too. Then I thought, "Aw! Fuck it."
