Inlet manifold sizes ?

[Danie.e]

Just received a very well made set of inlet manifolds for my Suzuki GS850G - It was purchased on e-bay clearly stating that it will fit 1981 to 1983 models. When I took them out of the wrapper the manifold side holes did not look correct so out came the trusty vernier.

Suzuki OEM manifolds measure 32mm and the ones I received measure 28mm - the carb side is correct. Were there any GS850s with 28 inlet holes??

The '79 850 came with VM28 carbs, starting in '80, they came with BS32 carbs, like yours.

Thanks Steve. This is then an error from the seller as their advert clearly states that the item is for 80 through to 83 GS850 models. Hope they have the correct size to replace the incorrect ones.
