    VM26's on cv34 cylinder head

    Hi all, has anyone put VM26 slides on 1980 GS 1000 engine via adapter plates and was it successful ?

    Should work. I've read, but never tried, that slotting the VM26 boots, to fit the later head, works.

      I'd not heard of the adapter plates, hope they may be shorter and give a little more room to work with.

        Adaptor plates ( if needed ) would have to be made as they are not a "thing" readily available off the shelf.
        I made the ones below to allow the use of GSX1000S Katana vm32ss oval bores which are spaced differently to stock VM's.

          ??? what are mounting plate screws screwed into, there's screw holes in the head, only a spout for hose and clamp.
