    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.

You need a set of BS34 mikuni carbs, and if possible pick up the air box. That bike has a two piece air box , air filter system. Running pods is a possibility, but you will need a jet kit and be ready to spend alot of time getting it dialed in. You are better off with the air box IMO, some will argue.;)
 
yeah thats what i throught about the carbs and rejetting for pods but as for the airbox will other airboxs fit as i cant find a standard gsx1100et box ive added a pic of one thats for sale cheap from a gsx1100e and wondered if that would fit?
 
a GSX1100ET airbox is the same as these models only......

I have a couple of sets of 34s. I'll build you a set with a Dynojet kit and throw in a set of K&N pods for $350 plus shipping.
 
Air boxes and carbs come up for them all the time on Ebay - there's loads out there. Watch out for the rubbers being hard on the air boxes (a new set will cost a bout ?40) and the RH chrome side panel being rusty.

Bank on stripping the carbs and fitting new O rings - about ?20ish from a Robert Barr (a GSR member). Watch out also for split diaphragms - they're not cheap.
