    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

i just finished my carbs on my wifes 78 gs1000. I have some cheap(emgo) pods for it already but after doing some research on them I dont want to use them. I have looked at the APE ones and would like to use them. On there web site it shows they fit 80 an latter GS1000 not the pre 80's model. Does anyone know if these will work for my 78 stock carbs?

Thanks Krank
 
nope...not unless you crank the clamps down really tight or shim the throat area with old air box rubber ect..
the emgo's should be fine on your smaller mechanical carbs.
i can't believe i just said that buttt...
the emgo's are small and shaped wrong for the larger vacuum carbs.

Those won't, but if you look in the Kawi section on the APE site, they show a listing for some for the KZ1000 that will work.
 
Thanks Blowerbike, I just dont trust them know.

Thanks Renobruce, I really appreciate the info and the extra effort of the link.

Great Site...
