    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.

Hi,

I have a 1979 GS1000EN bike with VM26's on it. I want to put a 1982 GS1100 GK top end on it (8 valve). Which years / models of CV carbs will work on this bike? any BS34SS from a 850 /1000 /1100 /1150?

I am planning on a jet kit and pods for this bike.

Thanks!
 
Are you sure those heads are interchangable? I don't think they are unless you plan on making it work.
Any rack of BS34SS carbs should work with the correct jetting.
 
I was told the head would bolt right on to mine. The cams and cam chain have the same part # on them as the 79 GS1000. I will put the 73mm pistons on my stock crank.

I asked in the technical and they gave me a go as long as I kept it an 8 valve as the 79 is an 8 valve as well.

Thanks!
