    Carb measurements

    So I'm speaking with a guy who builds carbs and have inquired about a dual carb setup for my bike. Does anyone know the carb center to center dimension and carb throat size for a gs750. I have an 1980 gs750l but I'm guessing that doesn't matter. Yes I could take them off my bike but as anyone knows if you have the stock airbox on it's kind of a pain in the rear so I'm hoping someone on the forum happens to have these numbers or at least a set they have taken off so they can get them easily enough. Thank you!

    You have to make custom manifolds so what does it matter what the spacing is at this point?

    Carb size is in your manual. It's a misleading number though because there is a butterfly in the airflow.

    To measure is to know.

        Regardless of the actual measurements, you will have to have the bike there, along with the carbs for accurate measurements as they apply to the bike.

        And yes, it does matter what year 750 you have. The engine changed drastically in '80. There were more changes in '83, but I don't know if they would affect the carb spacing.

        Why is it that you want to go to dual carbs? What carbs do you plan to use?
