VM33's on 16 valve 1100

[Fjbj40]

I have a set of VM33's that I had on my 1085. I since removed them and replaced with BST34SS off a GSXR1100, way better, more streetable.

Now I have this 1100ES. Being a 16 valves engine do you think they are more appropriate, will work better than the 8 valve engine?

its a shame as they are fully rebuilt, but an expensive piece of decoration.

cheers,
Daryl

the problem is engine size not valve number, the 33mm smoothbores are suited to big motors
if your 16 valve is stock they might not be the go either
your 8 valve at 1085 using the 33s would have little bottom end grunt 29 or 31mm would have been better

any 1100 16v. i have road with 33's was a hoot.
as with any mechanical carb you just can't whack it open from 2-3 grand without a bog or hesitation but spin it a little higher and the fun begins.
can't compare mechanical's to vacuum carbs...one set is smooooooth and the other is just an animal for making power.
