GS1000E carbs on 82 1100

[Mr. Wog]

Selling some carbs and was asked if the 1000's would fit the 1100. I don't believe they will fit because of the bigger intakes on the 1100....is this so?

If they're CV carbs, they'll 'fit', but will probably need to be rejetted. If they're VM's, they're completely different and won't fit the head without modification.

Stock Mikuni carbs

Those are VM carbs. It's possible that I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure the 1100's all have CV carbs. It won't be a 'bolt-on' swap.

They will bolt on if the intake boot pipes are changed to the '78 or '79 GS1000 type.

I stand corrected, good to know. Wouldn't jetting be a PITA, though?

NOT if it's a 16 valve 82 1100! Ray.

Good point. Ray is correct. I was thinking G model.

[Mr. Wog]

Well any-who the deal I'm willing to pass on to someone is the carbs are basically free.The new stage 3 kit with pod's would cost what I'm selling them for.
