    O-rings Interchange?

    Redoing the carbs on my 86GS550ES/G. I still have quite a few "o-rings" left from my 81GS550T rebuild. (At least enough to do 4 carbs). I was wondering if anybody knows if the O-rings on the 86 are a match for the o-rings from the 81, as I have not be able to find a kit to do my 86 dual carbs. And, of course, I will surely break or soak one of the ones on there when I do the rebuild.. Of course, trial and error would work, but leave me without a running bike as i search for o-rings, and with limited "nice" riding weather left, want to get as much in as possible

    Thanks

    This a question for Robert Barr, he sells the o-rings in kits,I believe there is a link to his site on our links page, or look in the memeberlist for him and use the "www" link.

      Yep - www.cycleorings.com I just ordered some from him and have in the past as well - , but they are all for the 4 carb setup...at least that what it looks like from his web page. I have emailed him to see if he knows.. I certainly hope they do. I'd hate to have to order each style from someone else at twice the price, if I could find them that is...

        Since I've never seen these carbs, I don't have an answer for this guy. Anyone else try my kit (or any other kit) on this style of carb?

              Rob, have you contacted Mikuni? Also, have you checked Bikebandit?

                Checking Bikebandit, they still have the o rings, but will cost approximately 20 bucks for the ones I need. I have another set of spare carbs I will disassemble tomorrow and check the rings, to see if they are interchangeable. If not, then off to Bikebandit I go...
                I will also be sending an email to Mikuni...

                Thanks for all the info!!!
