Carb to airbox rubbers

[Guest]

Hi guys is it possible to get new carb to airbox rubbers for the 78 slide carb model? Thanks Wayne

For the 850 or the 1k?

Sorry should have made it clear it's a 1000

The airbox to carb hoses on a GS1000 have never been a separate part from the whole airbox....but you can use the ones from a GS750 ('76 to '79 model). Part number 13728-45010.

The 1000 bellmouths (inside the airbox) are about 5-6mm shorter and are held in the airbox with a steel band. The 750 hoses are slightly offset and have no recess to accomodate that band. However they do fit very snugly inside the airbox. The length of hose between the airbox and the carbs is the same.

When pushed on to the back of the carbs the hoses needed to be turned a bit to sit square on because of the offset. Apart from that they fit spot on.

I have the front part of a later GS1000 airbox with the chrome sides on it, that has good rubbers, can they be taked out and swapped over or would they be bigger as they're for the CV carbs. Cheers Wayne

The rubbers for the CV carbs are a lot bigger and won't fit.

OK Cheers I'll look for some 750 ones.
