    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.

Depends what bike you're fitting them to and what you'll be using the bike for! If its mainly for street use go with Mikunis. If for track or drags choose the Keihins. The Keihins won't perform as smoothy at idle and just above as Mikunis will because thay are designed with a bias towards racing.
 
Good Info thanks.....I will pass on them then as my GS is 100% street driven and while I want more power I am looking to sacrifice as little street manners as possible....

If thats your aim, do a 3mm overbore and raise the CR to 10.5-1. Now fit a good 4-1 pipe and you're done. All you need then is a minor tuning session on the carbs.
While the heads off, do a cleanup in the valve pocket areas and blueprint the inlet and exhaust tracts.
With these mods you will loose no bottom end performance, but gain significant mid range torque and some top end HP. The overall range of performance will be increased with no ill effects to street manners.
