    GSXR Carbs on 8 Valve GS1100 HELLPP PLEASE!

    Hey all, I have a 1982 GS1100 GK (shaft drive) I recently have started to work on.

    I picked up a set of 36mm GSXR carbs (i believe they are off of a 91 or 91)
    I was under the impression that they would fit right up to my bike, be a bolt on upgrade, and with some jetting, make it easy to run pod filters on it.

    I now know that the 16 valve engine, is the one that they bolt right up to, and in 82 they put the 8 valve engine (for reasons I do not know) in the GK shaft drive models.

    SO…. My question is, does anyone know of an exact part number or web site link I can buy intake boots that will enable me to run the GSXR carbs on the older 8 valve engine? I was told by "GSX1000E" That the intake manifolds have to be a bit longer also, in order to clear the cam chain tensioner. But besides that being true, the intake boots also have to line up to the 4 GSXR carbs, which currently, they do not.
    The stock GS carbs are gapped differently in the middle. (see picture)

    Anyone ever done this before??? Whats the solution?! Thanks everyone!


    (The GSXR carbs are on the right)

      I am not, Is there a way to make sure? They look very similar to pictures I've seen of the GSXR carbs.
