New to CV carbs... compatability?

[phaserburn]

Hi,

I have a 1979 GS1000EN bike with VM26's on it. I want to put a 1982 GS1100 GK top end on it (8 valve). Which years / models of CV carbs will work on this bike? any BS34SS from a 850 /1000 /1100 /1150?

I am planning on a jet kit and pods for this bike.

Thanks!

Are you sure those heads are interchangable? I don't think they are unless you plan on making it work.
Any rack of BS34SS carbs should work with the correct jetting.

850s only had 32mm carbs. 8-[

I was told the head would bolt right on to mine. The cams and cam chain have the same part # on them as the 79 GS1000. I will put the 73mm pistons on my stock crank.

I asked in the technical and they gave me a go as long as I kept it an 8 valve as the 79 is an 8 valve as well.

Thanks!
