VM29 specs, manual, tuning tips for GS750/1000???

Got another set of VM29 smoothbores from her as a surprise!!!
I will be revisiting the settings on these. They have 2.0 slides, do the Suzuki GS's run better with the 1.5 slides that were spec'd for the GS model smoothbores???

Well fellas, you were possibly joking, but I really think I am going to stamp the last 4 of my social security # onto each of these vm29 smoothbore bodies that are apart on my bench... just in case history repeats itself. And maybe track down an engraver to put my initials on them.
I also am going to do the aluminum stock brackets to hang the carbs off of the frame from possibly a few extra long float bowl screws withe nuts on the top. It will really stink to have to remove them for tuning but oh well.
Man I really like these carbs. I have no qualms about vm26's, but these vm29 smoothbores are just superb carbs! Lightweight, excellent construction, very precise, well designed.
I'm really ting to keep it all mikuni here, and mostly all VM stuff that uses similar parts. Instead of getting some gs650 CV carbs for the wife's gs550+650 top end, I discovered that the gs650 head has a 28mm intake port, and that I actually unknowingly had a set of 28.7mm KZ1000 VM28SS carbs and that they seem to be able to bolt directly to the GS550 VM22 rack with the vm22 fuel rail couplers, throttle shaft, choke shaft, and the only fab work being a new lower return spring mount, as the 22 uses a pin set into the carb bodies that no other 26mm+ vm's have.
I think I am even going to go as far as to make my own custom rack, shaft, and fuel tee to make a 2 cylinder set of VM29 smoothbores for my GS425-475cc racer build. This has been done before. A local machinist guy here did the same thing for a 500cc Yamaha twin that he used to race.
Thanks for all the support everyone. I'll let you know how this one fares.
