gsxr 36mm slingshot carbs on 83 gs1100e, what throttle cable?

[batterup]

I got a set of the bst36ss 36mm slingshot carbs off a running gsxr and i got the k&n dual pods to go on them, ive heard you need a longer throttle cable to do this mod, can anyone point me in the right direction on what throttle cable to get to make this work? Also, any input on jetting could be of help, im considering the factory pro stage 3 kit, or the dyna jet stage 3 kit for these carbs, anyones input would be great. The bike has the motogpwerks stainless yoshi replica pipe on it. Thanks for the help!

I have a set of bdst36ss carbs on my 83 1100e. I bent the cable mount on the rack to accomidate the stock cable, works fine. Info on jetting and things here-http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=84777&highlight=stiksave

Hope that helps.

Are Slingshot 36s better than the stock 36s on the 1150?

In terms of smiles yes
The BSTs are not a good design and wear out the slide guides, needles and emulsion tubes.
I found a company still selling the slide guides and use Dynojet kits to set them up for the GSs.

Good info-thank you, sir!

I used a Motion Pro throttle cable set up on mine. I also went with the Factory pro jet kit as a base line. The thing to watch for on those carbs is the emulsion tube wears out. The hole gets elongated and makes jetting a nightmare/ impossible. I found this out first hand. Factory Pro makes new tubes that are made of a harder material.

Great advice, guys. Thank you. I found a set for $100 in very good condition (though I will have to look at slides and emulsion tubes), and I just don't think I can say no to them.
