    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.

I purchased CV BS34 mikuni carbs off of a Kaw 1000 I think, The main needles from the Kaw are slimmer and have a taper finished as compared to the Suz's carbs, can I put theses main needles in my carbs? If so will the size and taper of the Kaw's carb provide any benefits? Thanks, Bike is a 82 gs1100e.
 
Save yourself a lot of time & trouble - Make sure you use the jets & needles Suzuki specified for your bike. The only reason to change is engine mods.
 
You know it may be that these carbs had a Dynojet kit installed. Dynojet needles have the same kind of look you described compared to the stock Suzuki stuff. I'd clean the carbs up and see how they work. I don't know if you're planning to run a header and/or individual pods, but if you are you're going to have to rejet anyway and a Dynojet kit is the easiest way to go. Unless you're running bone stock you'll go crazy trying to rejet trial and error like with Mikuni stuff.

Bike has V&H 4 into 1, cone air filter with holes in the air box. I was going to put the carbs on my bike but the spacing is just a little different.
