1980 GS1000 carb options
Hi, I'm new to this forum and to bike building. I'm picking up a 1980 GS1000 this weekend but it has no carbs with it. Does anyone know what other year carbs will work on my 1980? Any info for this newb would be greatly appreciated!Tags: None

If you keep the bike pretty much stock, any carb for a GS1000 from '80 or '81 will work.
Carbs for a '79 or earlier GS1000 will NOT work (without a LOT of effort).
I think the '82-'84 1100s also had the same BS34 carbs, but the "choke" mechanism was different and would have to be changed.
