Best carbs for an 81 GS1100

[drmaxdc]

Since I have to replace a carb on my 1100, (my easy out broke off in the pilot screw and I can't seem to drill it out), what would be a good size to look for, or should I stick with stock? Thanks.

For what purpose, drag racing? Highway use?

Put an ad in the Parts Wanted forum for the specific carb you need. There are lots of folks around here with spare carb parts, include carb bodies. If you are not capable of getting the carbs together yourself, look up Chef and he'll hook you up.

36mm Mikuni RS flatsides

34mm RS is better on a stock 1100

What about 36 mikuni's from an 1150?

How would the dynojet stage 3 kit/36mm 1150 carbs do on a stock 1100E w/ a header, k.n. in box filter ? any better than the 34's?

Kris V and I were dragracing through the Tehachapi loop and hit a one-hundred car train head on.
What a mess. Fifty trains backed up trying to get to Bako and LA. Happened in a tunnel too. Denatured Alcohol, plastic pellets and corn meal.

I have a 3133 Dynojet kit brand new in the box for sale.

You should've. You're welcome here. Lot's of good roads and I'm sure I could of scrounged up a bike for you.

It is a stock 81 GS1100 that has been sitting for years. I'm just going to ride it in town, but I want it to run good. I don't know wheather to find a stock carb, (outside left, sitting on bike) or look for a set of 36mm's off an 1150. I take it they are different then the 36mm RS flatsides. The RS seem rather expensive from what I've seen so far.

There is a set of 1150 carbs on Fleabay right now. They seem to be missing a float bowl and possibly some other things. I can fill in the blanks if you choose to purhase.

I saw those, You think that would make mine run good? Would my stock boots work?

If the motor is good yes.
And yes to the boots.
You will need a left handlebar switch for the choke if you have the choke that goes up through the triple tree.
