Hello everyone Im new here love the site its a wealth of useful information but for me I'm just starting my first bike build on a gs750 and may be a novice question but I'm trying to find the best flatslide carbs to fit second hand or new does'nt matter I want to try and get a bit more poke out the engine though any advice out there ? :pray:
 
welcome! what year gs750 are you working on? (pics help). Running right,all these critters have plenty of "poke" - have you had much experience working on bikes, or is this a new learning adventure?
 
Hello Tom this is a new learning adventure for me so I have limited knowledge of working on bikes I've got a pic of the engine in the bike it used to be part of if that would help but I cant seem to figure out how to upload the picture...DOH... I know its a GS750E and will have a look for some numbers on it if that helps

If you go to my album or save image you may be able to see it in a larger scale coz the photos actually pretty good
 
29mm smooth bores work well on 750 34mm flat slides also work well none of which are cheep ! what neck of the woods are ya from ?

Those ARE NOT 29mm, Those are 26mm and they are stock for your bike or gs1000 not a performance up grade. 29's have a large bolt in the center of the float bowls 29mm are doing $500.00 or more
 
honestly, since you say you have limited knowledge working on bikes, i would focus on getting it running perfectly in stock configuration first. i think running flatsides and pods is for sure going to require some experimentation with jetting, just be ready for an adventure with that. just my .02.

My thoughts exactly, with limited knowledge you are better off making it run the way it is suppose to before you try and modify the thing. Running right the bike will have some pretty good power. It will never perform like a newer so don't try and make it compare to one. But running right I don't believe you will be disappointed.
 
Thanks Greg and HjFisk good words of advice I will take heed thanks also Anthony for your help gonna take my time and get it stock then I'll get some pics when I get there thanks chaps :)
