NOOO! Do not buy rebuild kits.
Get these o-rings. Get the combo.
Follow this guide. This one is specific to GS450 carbs.
And this one is very detailed but is for bigger bikes.

Look through them both.
What year is your GS450? -
Its actually a 81/2 monster its a track bikeComment

and the gasket?Comment

So it's basically a 1980-1982 GS450? Those are all the same and parts swap out easily. The carb guide and o-ring kit will work perfectly.Originally posted by ZombieZ View Post
The gasket is usually not needed unless it's leaking. Look around on eBay or even better, Z1 Enterprises.Originally posted by ZombieZ View Post
How about some pics of this track bike?

Well well well... We got ourselves another youngster.... Actually I'm 18 myself.Originally posted by ZombieZ View Post
According to your original black bodywork, you have a 1983+ GS450E. So I am unsure if my guide and o-ring kit will work but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't since they are both BS34 carburetors, right?Comment

yup that probably enplanes why the tank didn't fit on the bike they are actually 2 different bikes that i am trying to mesh into one... and as far as i can tell it is a mukuni bs34Comment

Judging from the frame, it's definitely a 1983+ E model.Originally posted by ZombieZ View Post
Take a look at my rebuild guide in the link above. Compare your carb to my pictures. I'm pretty sure that all GS450's except the GA, used the same Mikuni BS34. The only difference maybe jetting.Comment

I'm about 96.3 percent sure its the same carb. The manual said they all have the same from 77'-87'. I guess worse comes to worse I will just end up buying it anyways gotta wait for my paycheck and pick up the gaskets on ebay do you know of any good ebay stores? Pretty much that the brakes, and fine tuning are my only really big projects. (Knock on wood!)
It's coming together though books and classes are taking a big chunk out of my budget!Comment

Everyone on here always tells me to get OEM. here are the links to the part you are talking about.
If it's 83-88 it's part #26 in this diagram $6.46/ea
If it is an 80-82 part #17 in the diagram $5.87/ea

Yes, if that first pic is the original one, then definitely '83+, which means some key differences between the '80 - '82 models.
First, carbs are definitely different, not sure on what effect that has on the O rings except that the jets are completely different sizes/series to the earlier ones.
Also, yours has electronic advance on the ignition, so older ignition modules and upgrades won't be suitable as they will rely on mechanical advance.
Other than that, a lot of things should still be in common...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie
