Suzuki GSXR 750 L build.

[Uitenhage]

I have been restoring / rebuilding a 750 L since the end of last year. The bike was a Japanese import around a decade ago but it seems it had a hard life here. I bought it as a complete bike with a broken engine.

 

The bike is almost finish, only requiring its carbs and body work with a few other small items.

I decided not to use the 38mm standard carbs for this model but to convert it to the 36mm slingshot carbs, based on the advise from this forum. I have converted all the different parts to make it work, but now I need some advise guys to complete this conversion. I was hoping that a set of slingshot dot head carb inlet rubbers will work, but they do not match the 'L' inlet rubbers.

What model inlet carb rubber will match the GSXR 'L' model port shape, and fit the 36mm slingshot carb? Is there someone that has done this conversion, and what rubbers did they use?

the US spec 750 L used 36mm carbs iirc . Just wondered why not stick with the stock 38mm ? I've got a 750 L with 20k miles on the clock and its fairly stock apart from a straight through race can and the fueling is fairly good . There a bit fluffy below 3k rpm but they all do that .

Agree with colinworth79.  My L has the 38mm carbs on with stainless headers (source unknown), Devil link pipe and A16 can, K&N filter in the airbox.  AFAIAA it's otherwise stock and it fuels great.  I would be tempted to avoid fixing something which ain't broke.

Thank you guys for the responses, I appreciate it. I forgot about the US California spec 'L' using the 36mm carbs, thanks you colinworth79. At this point it seems the only plausible solution is to stick to the 38's, as I don't think the US spec 'L' rubbers will be easily obtainable is SA. 

My thought was that perhaps some bandit rubbers could possibly do the trick.
