Hello Everybody!
Sorry for the cross post, I am asking this same question in a thread in appearance mods I started on my build, but since I asked the original question here and this is more a performance question I will repeat myself here;
Well, I scored a set of Mikuni RS38's off the E*ay last night with a buy it now of $225. I really wanted some 36s but I could not ponder much as I thought this opportunity wouldn't last. I have had deals bought out from under me while I stared at the screen. I just confirmed they weren't old slabby flatslides and hit the button.
So I guess I will find out first hand what too-big carbs will do. I already have a set of fcr 39's with spacing that didn't fit the GS (or I would have tried them last summer) and I have grand plans for a big bore some day, but that is a year or two away and as far as I can tell I have a stock 1100 with a header.
Any advice on jet sizes I should start with? I plan to go through these before I try to use them, any advice? I also have an odd thought of machining some 1mm thick, tapered, hard plastic reducer bushings to bring the venturis down to 36mm. I would press them in for the time being and take them out later once I can utilize more flow. I have heard of many instances of boring a carb body larger, or using filler in a manifold to alter the flow characteristics, why wouldn't it work in reverse? Or am I worrying for nothing?
Cheers, Erick

) it was like that. i added k&n race filters to it. i never rode it stock so idk what it was like then. but man it has loads of power and pull almost from the bottom. i think everything else on the engine is stock except for the coils.
