    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

79 GS 1000 VM Carb Boots

They may fit. What size VM's are you fitting them to? Are you using the airbox or pods with them?
Measure the mount centers. If you're running the stock airbox, check the length of the mounts. If they're longer than the GS ones, you'll have difficulty with clearance between the frame mounts and carbs.
 
Just did this on my 79 1000 engine with the VM's. They fit the carbs perfectly, and are a lot cheaper than the ones for the actual GS. All you need to do is make the mounting holes a little further to the outside by about 1 or 2 mm. I used a dremel for this. They don't have the O-rings for sealing to the head, which is a good thing I guess. Pick them up, it's a good deal. And a bonus is that you get the sync ports right on them! Can't beat that.
 
I have them on mine, too. I used a drill to ream the holes out a bit and they fit fine. But check ebay first. I got mine for $35.00. Search under KZ1000 and KZ900. I think I bought mine from an ebay store.
 
A couple of pics of mine installed. On the Kawis, the synch ports face down, but you can flip them around like I did if you want.
