If you see cracks in your intake boots they are probably leaking. Would give you a bad lean condition for sure.

It's #21 on the cylinder head diagram... # 23 is the screw that holds it in. (On BikeBandit I assume?)

And yes GeeP is right, you get it at the same place you found the pretty pic.

As the other posters said, you can get it at bikebandit.com.  Or you can use the parts diagram and just call your local Suzuki dealer and talk to their parts department and have them order it.  With shipping factored in, that is usually the cheaper route for me.  (Since I'm in CA, I pay tax either way)

thanks everyone, according to bike bandit, it's called 'pipe assembly, intake'. cool :)

the parts fiche i have is from a while back, the filename is asdfasdfasdffsadf.pdf, and the source of the fiche i'm not sure of :) since i had a few scripts to search google results for certain ftp's that were non-login.

now i'll google around for a decent price, unless someone has a pair they want to sell me that are in great condition.

I'd buy  a new set- then  you'll likely never need another set for as long as you own the bike. Odds are if you buy used you'll be gettiing an old almost dry rotted set...
