  • '79 Special #3 Carb

    I am in need of a #3 carb or set of carbs for a '79 XS1100 Special. If interested I have a dentless special tank, good seat, good and clean '80 carbs, throttle, clutch cable, coils, and some other odds and ends if anyone wants to trade.

    If you have a set of good clean 80 carbs, why not just put the 80 rack on the 79?

      Carbs

      Because I completely rebuilt the '79 carbs and prefer them. I.e. adjustable needles...

        Ok. You can also use a #1 carb for the #3 spot, broaden your search a little.

          Good call. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't realize that.

            I have a #3 carb from a 79 Special that I will sell you. Make me an offer.

            Do you just want the carb body?

            Thanks
