    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.

GS1085: RS 34 Flatside vs VM33 Smoothbore?

I am running 36mm flatslides from an 89 GSXR1100 on my 1085, Web cams, big port head, head cut, radius valve job and ported by Ray. I installed a Factory Pro jet kit and am running K&N RU-2922 filters. It took me a while to get the low end sorted out and it still isn't as crisp on the bottom as it could be with smaller carbs. It is not like it is undriveable on the low end but I think it could be crisper. BUT--- when that thing hits @5000 RPM's it SCREAMS!! I have been fooling with the idea of some RS34's or some smaller VM's and even purchased some 31mm flatslides from a member here. I just can't bring myself to put them on and loose that rush these big carbs give.
I think if I knew then what I know know I would have bucked up and bought a new set of RS34's and been done with it
You should have seen the face of my buddy when that big old GS was power wheelying by his new Ducati earler this year!!!!!!!
I never heard back from you & this is the first I've heard you talk about it being running. I'm glad it runns good & pulls hard! Just where did you end up degreeing the cams? Also, which cams did you go with? 36s are a little toward the big side but I'll still bet we can get them snappier! Call me if you want. If you don't still have my # let me know. Glad to hear you are happy with the head! Ray.
