I was wondering if anyone knew of a good alternative for the carb boots on the rack for the GT380's. Been looking around and they want $50 or more for the set of three. Its the boots that expand and contract with the slides. Anyone have a MacGyver idea for me or something they have done in the past? Just doesnt seem like a good idea to have the slide chamber open to the elements like this. Thanks in advance!!!

You're absolutely correct about that, MRMOTO. You do NOT want to be sucking air and dirt down between that slide rod and the cap, never mind the possibility of water getting in there.
I'm not aware of any alternative method of sealing that rod/cap. IMO,
this is one of those times when you just suck it up, pay the price and be VERY glad that those bellows are still available from Suzuki.
