    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.

CS Carbs on a 1979 head using radiator hose and pixie dust

So I've got the same problem as the guy in this thread. I have a GS850 that required a head replacement, and the new head (that I've gone to great lengths to acquire and recondition) turned out to have the 1979-sized intakes.

Anyway, someone suggested using radiator hose to create makeshift boots. Has anyone here ever actually done this? If I do it, will it cause me to die in a fire?

Thanks

Edit: I mean "CV". What are the other ones called, by the way? VM?
 
VM is correct. You can use radiator hose but no telling what kind of results you'll get using the CV's or if you will be able to get a good seal going from hose large enough to fit the CV's down small enough to fit the intake port. Normally you try to match the intake ports to the carbs.
 
This could make a great horror movie. "The intake leak that wouldn't die!"
 
Didn't mean to poke fun at you. Seriously. Get the right head. If the smaller head bolts on fine, then get some VM 26 carbs too . But the right head is what you should use.
