I'm looking at an 1100E that has flat slides installed. Owner says that they're 38mm ....does that sound right or is it 34mm? How are they as far as day to day use and tuning?

Any thoughts?

Are they the RS Flatsides with the accelerator pumps?
The 36s would be ideal with a stock to 1166 kit but the 38s will be killer at the top end.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.
1985 GS1150ES stock with 85 Red E bodywork.

These already flow much more than CVs, so 36mm should be plenty for a stock bike IMHO....38mm might be over-carbed & not as responsive for everyday riding.
If they turn out to be expensive RS or FCR items, you could always flip them for good $$ and throw on carbs of your choice, or smaller 36s....flats are supposedly easier to tune than the CVs, and the factory provides set-up info to run them on the GS1100 .
