    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.

Upgrade Carberators

I have an 82 1100GSLZ model and I need to know what the most modern carberators I can bolt on to the bike. I am breaking down and getting the pods being I have put on the V&H 4 to 1 on the bike (Had to jet the carbs way down to get them to work with the stock air cleaner). The carberators I have are in need of repair and finding full repair kits is getting difficult. I figure I should just break down and get a newer set of carbs in better condition and possibly a little more responsive for the old girl.

I have alot of repairs to do this year so any help on this subject would be appreciated.

Short Repair list
My tach hit 25,000 miles last summer and the regulator/rectifier went out on me (imagine that :) ).
Need to do some rewiring to deal with overheated wires due to regulator.
Carbs and pods.
New boot for the rear drive
Have a new seat built from the PAN up.
Amongst other little stuff.

Well, I guess the most modern carbs you could use (suitable for street use) would be the Mikuni RSs. But they're quite expensive, generally around $800. If you're looking for a cheaper option, I believe GSXR carbs will fit.
