RS Flatslides GSX 1100 , 1981

[Guest]

High peeps, as parts are no longer available for the original carbs, and before buying a set of RS 36mm carbs, can anyone who has them tell me what they are like to use on the road ? Can they give a reasonably smooth ride, or do they make the bike an all or nothing riding experience ? Any thoughts ? Many thanks for your help.

I understand that shipping to you might be expensive but i would be very surprised if someone here didn't have the parts you need to restore your stock carbs.
Someone might even have a complete set. I would start a thread in the Parts Wanted section.

Thanks for the reply Steve, i need NEW choke slides and x1 emulsion tubes, can't find any anywhere online, i'll try in the parts section.

I find RS flatslides to be perfectly streetable. The major difference is that you have to be smooth with your throttle hand vs. CV carbs. You have to gradually roll on the throttle vs. whacking it open.
