Gofast Ultrasonic Carb Cleaning/Rebuilding Service

[6pkrunner]

Since these aren't the correct carbs for that bike anyway, obsessing over the accuracy of the finish seems a tad pointless, no?

Well I guess I've gotta get in here. No the BS36 carbs are not correct for that bike. However, I would like a set as close to factory finish and looks as possible. A set of BS36 Mikunis on an 1100 look like a stock set of 34s to most eyeballs that will view them. Ya gotta get up close to notice. The pipes are from an 1150, but they carry the factory look. The hue of red on the body is incorrect also. This bike isn't a restoration, but a slight update on a GS. I would like 95% of the people to walk right past it and not notice anything odd, but the GS buffs can have at it and laugh all they want. I've got a '69 Charger R/T I use as a daily driver in the summer and has lots of mods from stock (ignore the Landyesque Cragar S/S, I've got a set of 14 inch stockers in the corner)- but will fool a lot of observers - some who owned them new. So for me I want them to look as the factory delivered them regardless of 34 or 36mm throat size. That's my side. I would rather not have bling - just stock lookers.

The other is, with all this flak flying that was never my intent, is the old put up or shut up. I have asked Chuck to do me up a set and the two sets will be photographed and compared for all to see. As I see it, this is the best solution to a pretty much incendiary topic.

I showed Paul's as I received them. The pictures are there for all to view. If you would like more - no problem. I'm sure Paul wouldn't mind. Anyone who wants to find either fault or props is welcome to do so - but please do so through a PM to me and no more hand grenade tossing on the board.

If anyone else can come up with something better to end this - let me know.

I've set my parameters for my bike to be the way I would like it. While not stock or restored, the factory feel is there. I've got a nicely ported 1100 head with the 27mm 1150 intakes (the 1150 head looks nothing like the 1100 head, so the benefit of a better head was canned), hopefully 223 cams, Wiseco K1168 pistons, and the stock airbox and pipes. There will be a stock 1150 oil cooler using all stock parts - factory for an 1100 - nope but factory looking. An aftermarket top end oiler kit will ruin the stock look, but in this case its function over form. But being anal over losing horsepressure by the stock airbox and 1150 pipes doesn't bug me as long as the look is there. So the carbs fall under that criteria.

End of all of this for me.

Long title - great service. The board's own nastyjones (AKA Paul Jones) set me up with a set of rebuilt GS1150 BS36 Mikunis. Carbs were disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, painted and baked, reassembled with new O-rings and shipped. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

At least with Chuck we know which side he's on… When we can understand him.

Are you happy with these carbs or are you not?

Like I said, we know where you are at when we can understand you…

6pkrunner, I have no idea what this thread is about.
You either like the work done or you do not?
Why not just say so either way?

If you paid $50 or $100 to have it done it looks fine…
If you paid $1000 for the work I would expect more.

WTF?

What a stupid thread.

Tom...go to nastyjones add in the SERVICES section and read all about it..

Agreed, it is your bike, do what you will, with it. I'm also running later model 36mm GSXR-style carbs on my 1100E, and they are a definite performance upgrade, non-stock looks be damned.
As to the thread, just a couple observations, if I may. One initially got the impression you were satisfied with the services rendered, from posts & pics in two separate threads....now there are some hints being dropped, that that might not be the case. The usual course of action (on the forum), to address any dissatisfaction with purchases etc., is to take it up with the member privately, and attempt to resolve the issue. Most members would appreciate that chance to make things right, rather than have Open Season declared by some oaf who might have done things differently.
If another set of carbs do turn out 'better', keep in mind the fact that all the other variables (cost, time, etc.) will have been set aside. One can provide a set of carbs at what might be a loss, all things considered, but if that level of quality/detail can be offered day in & day out at that price point or better, I'm sure there would be no dearth of business on the forum, for that provider.

You know I was going to pull up my deer and popcorn pic but then realized this thread isn't worth it....

[rustybronco]

Mike said it was the end of all this for him. I think that is the perfect note for all of us to put and end it as well.

Chuck, there's NO WAY you can justify exploding and badmouthing anyone's work in this part of the forum. The OP was thanking a guy for doing good work on his carbs, and you go off saying how bad his work is. If it isn't your carbs, then keep your yap closed.
