SiBag Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hi, Quick question. What intake manifolds are people using to fit flat slide carbs on GSX1100 heads? Or are you just using a length of suitable diameter silicon hose? Cheers.. Quote Link to comment
kitkatman Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I use standard inlet rubbers on my ET head,with 38m flatslides. When you fitt them use red rubber grease, makes them fitt easer. 1 Quote Link to comment
SiBag Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Cheers for the input. I wasn't sure if the standard inlets would stretch the extra 2mm. Quote Link to comment
dago Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 i use std ones with my 38s as well, just warm the rubbers up first as well as the red rubber or silicon grease 1 Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This man has a lot of stuff, also intake manifolds or air cleaners, for sale, very reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment

Sheep Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I bought new rubbers and made the job of removing/fitting sooo much easier than before with the old cruddy ones... 1 Quote Link to comment

This, and get the EFE/1150 manifolds instead of the ones for the earlier GSXs as they are larger (due to the stock 36mm carbs vs 34mm) and so will make fitting alternative larger carbs a lot easier too..

Gixer34 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I used a heat gun to warm the rubbers. Its an EFE so as said its a bit easier Quote Link to comment
