right i have made a support bracket that is easy to make, does the job and is easily removable for maintenance and carb removal.
this is for my 78 GS1K so other GS models may differ.
to start with, i noticed a lug welded to the top of the frame, not sure what it is meant for but it gave me an idea.
you can see the hole clearly in this pic.....
so, i got a piece of 2mm aluminium plate and cut it to fit between 2 and 3 carbs, with a cut out for the throttle cable/linkage. it is held on by the 2 inner carb top mounting screws.
with a 30 degree bend (approx.) it is the same angle as the lug on the frame.
a length of 6mm stud bar from the bracket to the frame lug secured each end and i used a 6mm washer which fits the hole in the frame lug to keep it all central.
and there you go. makes a nice solid,simple support to stop your carbs sagging or popping off!!!!

I think that I will have to steal this idea. Thanks for sharing the pic's.
