    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Sorry about the title. Trying to help future searches.

QUESTION - Has anyone mounted after market carbs to there suzukis and if so provide as much info as you feel like doing?

Thanks in advance. I want to send my motor to cycle specialists in Newport News and have Larry McBride's shop rebuild it but since I am a dealer I am responsible for ordering my own parts. The old slide carbs are to hard to sync, fuel/air mix, and I am a firm believer in mixing old with new for reliability purposes. I look forward to your responses.

I haven't done it personally but I know that many have done that with the GS's, mostly the 1000, 1100 and 1150's. Mikuni RS flatslides are the way to go for street. The slingshot carbs from the old oil-cooled GSXR's will also fit but are harder to dial in correctly compared with the RS's. Check out sudco for the RS's. Last I looked they were in the $600-750 range. You'll also need to figure out what size you need. Do a search - you should turn up a ton of threads. If you don't, try posting in the performance section.

Thanks Jiggles. I will search for RS Flatsides on the forum technical section.

Also check out gszone.biz. (site for GS1100/1150's) They have Mikuni RS's for 715.00 a set. Order them for your bike and they come pre-spaced. I put a set of smoothbores on my 81 750EX and...YIKES!! Scared the snot out of me the first time I jumped on it after the install.

Good luck.

I have some GSXR carbs on mine and they work better than the stockers but I don't have any time slips to back that up yet. Still playing with the jetting too.
