RS34 Air Filter Application

[srsupertrap]

Does anyone know what the correct K&N's air filters are for the Mikuni RS34 or RS36 Flatslide carbs. I believe they are the same ones used on all late model GS1000 & GS1100's with CV Carbs.

If anyone has a set of RS34/RS36 and can provide a meaurement of the filter side OD in mm's that would be very helpful

Thanks,
Steve

I looked up my old invoice when I purchased mine, K&N P/N RC-0984 for a set of 4.

I bought mine at www.4filters.com.

Blackstar,

Thanks for the help & links. Now that your GS1000 project has been done for a couple of years what is your verdict on the RS34 Carbs?

No problems what so ever with these carbs. The thing I like the most is that they are easy to make tuning and needle changes on. This can be done without removing the carbs from the bike or loosing your sync. They were a bit lean as delivered new. I have gone up on the needle jet size and have taken care of that. In retrospect, I probably should have gone with the RS36's, but was afraid of being over carburated. My head is a small port and I wanted good rideability and response so I went with the 34's. When the valve job was done I had the ports matched to the intake boots to get rid of the step. After fiddling with the butchered VM29's (stripped jet blocks) that came on the bike and the VM26's that I got from a junk yard, these carbs were a welcome change. Now I only wish I had an exhaust gas analyzer and a dyno.
