T500 intake manifolds - best source / options?

I have a 1972 T500 that I need to buy new intake manifolds for. For clarity that is the flanged rubber boot between the engine and the carb. Are there any suggestions for sources or aftermarket that would be recommended or just spend the $43 a piece from Suzuki?

How does $22 for a pair sound?

I had seen those. I am always leery of reproductions. At least these are from Japan. That said in digging through the feedback on the seller there were 3 different cases of inlet manifolds (yes for different bikes) but all said they were very poor quality. Based on that I am not currently considering them. Thanks for the suggestion though!!
