380/550 Did you ever wonder why?
I'd like to know what ever possessed Suzuki to make the ram air grommets and the cylinder wedgies white. They have always looked out if place to me. Black would have been so much better, or even red.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: 380/550 Did you ever wonder why?
I agree. That's why I replaced mine with black. They sell grommets in the Lowe's automotive hardware section that fit and look perfect. My white ones were in pristine condition and I was able to make good money off of them on EBay because are they no longer available in white. Red would look crappy in my opinion.

I see they are readily available on Partzilla at $1.85 each. What color are they now?

I assume black. I'm not sure of that though.Coyote wrote:I see they are readily available on Partzilla at $1.85 each. What color are they now?
