    VM26ss substitutes...

    Good morning,

    I have searched and searched, and I'm unable to find replacement parts for the VM26ss. I can find parts diagrams all day long, specs too, but no parts. I've had a ton of luck, however, finding parts for VM26-606 carbs, and the carbs themselves... Are they the same, or at least interchangeable? I have a set of the VM26ss missing all sorts of bits and I'll need to be replacing parts, but I keep turning up the 606 parts in my searches...

    1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
    1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

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

      Pretty sure it's a 1979 GS750E. Still don't have the title, just going on labels and whatnot.

        Should be able to go to any online store and look up the carbs. Many of the parts are no longer available. Post a list of parts you need in the wanted section. Someone will likely have them:

          I've been able to look up the carbs and find parts, though I haven't found any floats or bowls. Are the ss interchangeable with the 606 carbs?

            Just post up what you need in Parts Wanted. Several members have stacks of carb parts.

              Hey Wade. I do have a lot of VM carb parts still.

              Maybe you email me some pics of what you are needing or describe them from the microfiche.

              My email is linked on my name.
