    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.

GT carbs, I think?

I used to own a GT500 or something tripple with ram air cooling. I went to visit the family this weekend and turned up a set of Mikuni's that have a 26.5mm bore that I think I made up for this bike. I also had a 500cc tripple Kaw back then, but am pretty sure I made these for the GT. They are all mounted together on a common rack that I think I just fit right into the original mounts. The welding is not that great, but everything looks like it's there. They may also make good parts carbs. They have been sitting for 20+ years but look to be in good condition. I looked for a part number or other stamping with no luck.

If anyone has a need for these, send a note. I can take some pictures.

Too bad my GT250 is only the 2 cylinder version 8O :oops:
Would be a fun addition but I don't think it would be feasible to convert those over.
Too bad :cry: :cry:
You know you could put those on eBay and possibly turn a pretty penny. Those old GT parts are going for $$ sometimes.
 
I don't think so. The VM had the cable coming out of the top I thought. They have round slides but are driven from a shaft. There are better pictures in the eBay listing.

I am pretty sure they were from an old 750. I had a friend of mine who was almost killed when a lady pulled out in front of him and he T'ed her. He gave me the bike for parts and I think these came off it. I was running a GT and these had a bit bigger bore from what I remember and I made the swap. When I sold the bike, I kept the carbs for some strange reason.
 
They could be the same as yours. Are yours stamped with a part number? If so, I could pull one off the rail and check it if your interested.
