Gs1100es airbox/carb removal

[KL FLASH]

I have cleaned/restored probably 20, or more, racks of carbs and can only remember buying one jet. That one the PO had ruined the screw slot and I had to pretty much destroy the jet getting it out. But I replace every O-ring and Bob's kit is the best deal anywhere. Get yourself some good picks to remove the old O-rings to make the job easier.

Get the O-rings here:

Here are the two sets I use, both from Harbor Freight:

this set is made with much stiffer material.

Both are sharp and you will get puncture wounds, to your fingers, until you work with them a while....Just sayin'

Thanks very much! I just ordered the o-rings from the above link. Really appreciate the info!

The 1100ES is the first motorcycle that one of the big 3 magazines got into the 10s with in the quarter. I have the issue around home, somewhere. I'm not sure if I personally prefer it to the 1100E of the same year, but they are a little different and far more rare. Nice find.

I recall Cycle World saying that the addition of the fairing enabled it to hit 140 mph. I believe the engine is identical.
