carb swap question

[atcrider1]

hey guys, back again lol

will the carbs off a 78 gs550 work on my 82 gs550l? they are a different style than mine as the do not have the diaphragm up top like mine do

Yes they will work. All you have to do is change the cylinder head and airbox to match.

[Big T]

Nope

as you've noticed, a different carb for a bike with a different head

Easy to do and with the price of those diaphragms getting stupid it can help if you're on a budget. Carbs are easier to tune in for pods as well if you don't fit the airbox..
