    GS1000S air Box Issue

    Carbs are rebuilt and I am waiting on my new intake boots (ordered 14 days ago from part shark).

    I thought I would to a dry run since I am replacing the pods that were on the bike with a stock air box bought from a member here.

    When I put the air box in (I did not secure it) and threw 2 of the old intake boots on, there did not appear to be any room at all for these carbs to fit!

    I know it is tight. However, upon further review. I think I may have the wrong air box.

    Take a look at the photos below. The pod that easily fits on is pictured next to the air box inlet that isn't even close, much smaller.

    Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

    When you bought the airbox from me you didnt mention you had the CV carbs. I ran with the stockers being VM 26s... had i known that I would have told you it wouldnt have fit...Guess it can be resold to someone needing one for the VM 26 boots.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      The airbox you have is for non CV carburettors I.E. VM 26 or VM 28 Mikunis.
      You will need to find another airbox I'm sorry

        So, are these NOT the stock carbs for my 1980 GS1000S?

          I dont know if the 80s had VM or CV stock..that box came off the 79 which had Vm stockers I will look at the parts fiches to see.

                    Alright!! If anyone has a lead on the proper airbox, please let me know.

                    Otherwise, I may have to order some new main jets and stick with the pods.

                    Thanks....all.
