    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.

GS750 850 upgrade

These are described as Mikuni Flatsides coming off a 86/87 GSXR, the guy adds that he has heard of them being compatable with GS750's and 1000's (but I have heard those kind of claims before) they are a 40mm fitting on the motor side.

Are these out of the question on a '77 750 or '79 1000?

Sorry if I am majorly hijacking this thread but it just seems like we are on a good roll here and I am learning tons of new stuff here ;)

Cheers

I THINK those are too big for the stock boots. You can jam a 38mm in there, but I dunno about 40s.

After looking forever A member here found me a set of the 36mm slingshots for my 1000 as an upgrade over the stock 34 roundslides.

I am with you on carb confusion, it's REALLY hard for me to keep it all straight, what year gsx had this mm vs that mm, etc...

Also, someone talked back a bit about using CVs on a pre 1980 bike, but I was under the impression the port spacing was different so you'd have to mod the rail.

Mikuni 36's off a GSX 1100EF

I believe so yes. Some years had 38mm, some years 36mm. I'd have to look at my notes for 750 vs 1100 and which years, but those should be the carbs. BS36SS and BS38SS Mikuni. I think on an only moderately built 1000 the 38s would be to much.

Anyway IMO the bang for the buck issue. Using the 850 jugs and pistons will give you a little pick me up but if you can couple that with pods and a pipe and even aftermarket cams (which will require degreeing to get what you want out of them) and you can really wake those 750 motors up. The bonus here is that the 750 motors are one of if not THE most durable of the GS motors built. They're the only one that used a straight cut gear set. I've not seen but heard tales of them getting overbores and turbo kits and getting flogged to hell and back and lapping it up with vigor. Hop that baby up. You're not gonna hurt it unless you're actually trying to and even then it may laugh at your attempts.

I like what I'm reading. Already got the pipes...

One thing at a time though. Gotta sort out my scored cylinders first. Some good info here.
