    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.

Right folks, the engine that is about to be fitted into my GS1000 has a 1085cc kit and ported/flowed head fitted. I am aware that if I keep the standard carbs they will struggle to flow enough to feed it and strangle any gains in performance. What carbs would be an easy swap? I don't want all out performance and would like to avoid trips to a dyno to have them set up.
I have been told that EFE carbs would be a good start (if I can get some) but would be interested to know what other people have used. I would rather use a slide type carb over CV's but beggers can't be choosers

Cheers,
Mark...
 
What year is you GS ?? If it is 79 or older with the 26 mm VM carbs you are stuck. Their are some Co. that will bore your carbs to 28 mm I have no knoweledge how it works Other option 29mm smooth bores very $$$$
 
The Mikuni VM 29 smoothbores are perfect for your bike if you can locate a good set. 33 smoothbores work too but are harder to tune in my opinion. Newer CR Keihins work well too. But expect to go through typical jetting scenario.
I'd prefer the 29's. Trick is finding a solid set.:)
