    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...

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.

I am thinking of replacing the orginal carbs. on my 80 1100E. I have done some mods. such as an 1166 kit, Stage 3 jet kit, Pod filters and V and H megaphone header. What type and or set of carbs would be the best and easiest to use? I do not race at this time and am really just looking for something that would be easer to tune.

If you can find some 38mm CV carbs off a old GSXR 750 they would work great on the street's and do a good job on the strip too.
 
The Mikuni round slide 33 mm carbs are GREAT on an engine like yours & VERY easy to tune. On a small engine like yours these would be my choice for smoothbores. You will get good throttle response, & good fuel economy also if you ride it mellow. Ray.
 
I've always pushed the Mikuni flatslides. I've compared Hp figures to others with similar motors and I was making more HP. Our only difference was I was running the flatslides.

I've got a set of Mikuni 34mm RS Flat Slides and I wish I would have bought a set of CV carbs like Racing Jake recommends. 38mm is pretty big but with your setup it sounds like you need it. The only problem with the RS carbs is since they're mechanical, the throttle spring is REALLY strong. It doesn't take long to wear out your right wrist trying to twist that sucker. For the open road, I'd highly recommend a set of CV carbs. You just need to find a set with the right spacing, 77-93-77 center to center and that's in mm.

Good luck and let us know what you end up with.
