    CV Carbs converted to fuel injector throttle bodies



    Don't see why this couldn't work with the GS carbs. Faster than finding old GPz stuff anyway.

    The bottom line makes it not worth it on these old bikes.
    You could buy two or three bikes for the total cost of the system.

      Not worth it?
      What kind of reason is that to not do what you want to do?
      Go for it and keep us posted!

        It would be cheaper and more efficient to find throttle bodies that are close to the size of your carbs opening. I found a set off a 600 gsxr for $35 with injectors. Just takes a bit of searching and quick trigger finger on the paypal

          make it your self

          But you can keep the appearance of carbs, and we all know looks are more important than function or cost.


          Seriously The whole thing with micro squirt is you can build and adapt your own conversions, and by doing so make it cheap.
          I would go with the plans my self Click-here same site.


          I have intentions of doing simular one day.

              Agreed. No way I'd spend $1500 for a kit, but the basic idea seemed sound, and easy to build by yourself with a bit of lathe work, along with some tuning time on a laptop.
