    Another carb question

    Are the early GSXR CV flat slides any better performancewise than the round slide CVs from the GS? I have a chance at a set of GSXR750 34mm flatslides for cheap. I know you don't get the full advantage of non-cv carbs, but any better?

    Go for it. You need to get some K&Ns for them since you won't be able to use the airbox.
    They will be fun to jet but you'll have better bottom end.

      Wonder if the K&N's for my round slide 34mm CVs will fit, should right? Also wonder if the jets will fit, my 34mm round slides have a dynojet kit in them.

        Depending on the year the intakes of the gsxr 34mm carbs could be oval shaped in which case your K&N's wont fit.

        The jets may well fit but i doubt very much that they will be the correct size to have it running sweet & i'm unsure about the needles

        Having said all that the swap is well worth taking the time to do

          The K&Ns won't fit. The ones that do double up and there are only two of them.

            That set wound up going higher than I wanted to pay, but they are everywhere for 150.00, so If I'm patient I bet I can find a set for $100.00 over the next month or two unless something better falls in my lap. I saw how available they are and wanted to make sure it was an upgrade worth doing. I have a set of CV roundslides on the bike and a spare set of CV roundslides with one damaged body (broken float pin post) so if I find a set should be able to sell off some old carbs and basically have them for free.
