    Intake O ring size for an '80 GS1100E?

    Was going to order the rings I needed from cycleorings.com but his a snag.

    The intake O ring sets are 40mm, 38mm, 32mm, and 30mm. My manual says my carbs are 34mm... So which should I order? Again these sizes are listed for the *INTAKE* rings, not the actual carb o rings. I've already got the BS CV o ring kit in the cart.

    Now the bonus question- I might as well grab the stainless fastener kit as well. Anyone know which size I need for my bike?

    THANKS!!

    lets see if this helps

    77-79 750's, 850's and 1000's use 32mm o-rings and 16mm screws.
    79 425's use 40mm O-rings and oddball 6x35 screws, which I don't carry. **
    77-79 550's use 28mm O-rings (which I don't carry) and 16mm screws.
    80 & 81 1100E and 750's don't use intake O-rings or screws (so you're off the hook!)
    80 & 81 1000's use 40mm O-rings and 16mm screws. **
    80 and later 850's use 38mm O-rings and 20mm screws.
    81-83 650's use 38mm O-rings and 16mm screws.
    80-82 550's " "
    80-82 450E's use 40mm O-rings and 20mm screws.
    82 & 83 1100's (2-valve) use 40mm O-rings and 16mm screws.

    83-86 550's use a siamesed setup; they take 30mm O-rings, and five 16mm screws and one 20mm screw. There's a 'medley' screw set on the order page for these bikes.
    85 700 uses 38mm O-rings and 20mm screws
    unless I got it wrong ?

      No, you got it right.

        You have a different type of carb holder - No o-rings.

            Gatekeeper- Where did you find that list? I'm hoping I didn't miss it somewhere, but it's likely seeing as how I'm WFH and trying to order bike parts at the same time...

                  Actually, that information is incorrect. It should say:
                  80-83 1100E models do not use o-rings. Hehe.

                    Check your intake manifolds (tubes) for cracking UNDER the clamps.
