I'm looking at an 1100E that has flat slides installed. Owner says that they're 38mm ....does that sound right or is it 34mm? How are they as far as day to day use and tuning?

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Are they the RS Flatsides with the accelerator pumps?
The 36s would be ideal with a stock to 1166 kit but the 38s will be killer at the top end.

These already flow much more than CVs, so 36mm should be plenty for a stock bike IMHO....38mm might be over-carbed & not as responsive for everyday riding.:-k
If they turn out to be expensive RS or FCR items, you could always flip them for good $$ and throw on carbs of your choice, or smaller 36s....flats are supposedly easier to tune than the CVs, and the factory provides set-up info to run them on the GS1100 .
