    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

These aren't RS carbs are they?

Title says what I'm asking. I bought these on ebay trusting the seller. I have a sinking feeling that these are just Gsxr1100 carbs. Anyone know?

They are CV's. They are flatslides but they aren't RS. Since he lied you should be able to make him refund your money.
 
Thanks for the reply. Oh well. Caveat emptor. I bought 'em a year ago.
 
They are semi-flatslide Mikuni Slingshots. Still good carbs but not as well engineered as the RS's which have true flat slides with bearing guides.
These slingshots were fitted to the earlier GSXR's. The face of the slide facing the airbox is flat while the intake side is round like conventional slides. The vertical tube down the outside links the diaphgagm to the float bowl and has an enrichening affect at around 9000rpm, equivalent to increasing the main jet one increment from that point on. Quite revolutionary for their time.
 
If you're not racing, those CV's really are a good set to have. Much smoother for all around street riding and a whole lot easier on your wrist not to mention you'll get WAY better gas mileage with the CV's.
