    Carburetor replacement

    Would a '89 36mm carburetor from a gsx 750 replace a '81 43 mm set from a gs 750 work?
    are there affordable aftermarket/ replacement cv carbs for gs models besides the 1100?

      Okay 43mm might be the fork size, 54mm size pods.

          They didn't have 43mm forks, either.

          Not sure about the '81 750s, but the earlier ones had 35mm forks.

          The 1100GK had the biggest forks at 41mm.
