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.

GS1150 Carbs straight bolt on to GS1100E?

Read in the archives that the 1150 carbs will fit an 1100E but trying to find out if the same carb boots can be used?
 
Just found a post in the archives stating that the carb boots are the same ID so that means the carbs will interchange between the two bikes.
 
Yes, they fit right on. I've been running 1150 carbs on my 1100 for years. I used a Dynojet kit and pods and it runs great. Made a huge difference in performance.
 
Read in the archives that the boots are a tight fit. Think this comment related to the airbox boots but not positive. Found one older thread where there was some disagreement about whether the 36's were a direct bolt on into the 1100E. Some guys said yes and others said you have to force the boots on. If anyone has direct experience with this please chime in.
 
I just (2 years ago....) got new boots, for the 1100, my 36's slid right in with no problems at all.

The 1150 carb boots are ~2mm larger ID than the 1100 ones. I just bought some a couple months ago and measured them. They don't come in left and right anymore, you just turn 2 upside down. I am using pods on this bike so can't verify if the airbox boots are the same.

BTW the carbs will fit the 1100 boots, but will be restricted.

oops, sorry, no, I am on pods. I misunderstood the question. As to the varying responses, I can't comment other than to say I had no troubles in fitting the carbs. I haven't had 1150 boots to compare.

Are you using the stock 1100 airbox?

I posted a thread awhile back, noting that I bought some 1150 boots which were 10mm shorter than the 1100's.
No sure what that changes if anything in normal street riding or if now they're superseded and the same.
