    GS1150 carbs on a GS750

    Hey Guys, im new to this GS world and especially new to Carbed bikes.
    I just picked up an old 1986 GS750ES and i plan on having some fun with it but first i want to get it running properly.
    My first step was to completely strip and redo the Carbs since this bike was sitting for quite a while and i couldn't hear it run when i bought it- once i finally got all the grime and dirt off i found out they were 1986 GS1150 carbs. The bike currently runs pods and has a drilled stock exhaust but as far as the internals i can't be sure if its stock or not- Will this bike run with those carbs?
    I need to replace the Intake boots but i'm not sure if i should get the GS750 ones or the GS1150 ones- nobody seems to have any measurements?
    Any info would definitely be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The stock carbs are 32's and the 1150 carbs are 36's. A big jump. I'm sure you could make the bike run with them but I'm not sure how well.

    To measure is to know.

      I completely agree, I'm also wondering if one of the previous owners decided to do the big bore kit would this require such a drastic change in carbs??
