suggestions on where to find parts for 1982 550LTD

I took my 550 for a 30 mile cruise yesterday after work and was feeling it surging while at highway speeds, 60-70mph range, it felt like it was lean, i got it home and was inspecting things around the carb's, so i sprayed some carb cleaner around the boots and when i got to the #3 carb i could spray around the boot between the carb and engine and it would change rpm's, hmmm sucking air i bet. where is a good place to look for parts like rubber boots and other stuff for this bike, i'v looked at z1 enterprises but couldnt find rubber boots on there.

I suggest you contact Z1 Enterprises by phone and have them order a set of carb holders 16065-1014. I think they are still available from Kawasaki and Jeff and the crew at Z1E will have THE BEST price on OEM stuff. They seldom list OEM parts as they don't stock them but I personally order my OEM stuff from them because of service and prices. wg

ok cool, i will do that right now
