    Replacing Carb Nipples / Fuel Tee's

    Hello world -

    I'm in the process of rebuilding my carbs and nearly done! I wanted to replace the crumbling plastic nipples and fuel tees that link between the carbs. I saw aluminum versions online and wanted to double check before I pulled the trigger.

    Will these fit my 1981 GS850 carbs?

    OEM part #'s are below, but the links don't exactly match them...

    Thank you!

    If they spacing between carbs is right they should work fine.

      The first 2 links refer to pre-1980 models, so they will be for VM type carbs. Not sure if they will also fit CV type carbs.

      The third link is for post-1980 models, so will be correct for CV type carbs.

        Yep! Mostly concerned about the first two links... Is there a way I can verify if they will fit CV carbs?

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

            The fuel tee and rails from a VM26 won't work on a BS32 assembly.
