fuel injection mod? 1980 GS850GL

Even before I read this thread I had been thinking about a long term proj that would be a gs1000 with gsxr1000 throttle bodies... Haven't done anything more than the "dreaming" part of the build, but it's exciting to think about.

You don't wanna use GSXR1000 throttle bodies. You want to find a set that were on a bike with a similar HP output to yours that way the injectors don't need to be replaced.

I was just imagining it so far.

No offense, but what is it that you are trying to accomplish? While an 850 is a great bike the added aggravation of adapting fuel injection to your existing intake setup won't really make it any better. Check into a Dynojet kit, pods, and a header. You won't get any better than that.

A very basic FI system that actually works will in fact be MUCH better than a Dynojet kit, pods, and a header. Why? Ease of adjustment, adaptability, easier to add OTHER upgrades down the road.

There's a reason the industry has started going to FI for MOST newer bikes. It's because it's better.

What do you define as better? I'm also working on a fuel injection setup, and if done correctly it can run better than even the most perfectly tuned carb setup and it'll gain a little power in the process.

Not to mention it will ALWAYS be perfectly tuned...not just perfectly tuned for the weather and elevation that it WAS tuned at.

I agree that a correctly done FI system would be far superior to a carb setup.
