  • Carb interchange?

    Hi guys, I want to replace a carb body since I broke a post. I have a '79 but on ebay there's a reasonably priced set for an '82. Are the carb bodies the same?

    Nope....

    '78-79 are the same, '80-81 are the same, '82 is close to the '80-81 but there are differences that make swapping not a bolt-on. Look here for the differences: http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35964

      Ok thank you. I'll wait until there are some reasonably priced 78 or 79 carbs available

        Which carb body are you in need of. Quite often others have extar parts around and that may be one of them. I am standing here looking at a #3 carb body, I know someone was looking for a while back but can not remember who. If you ask the right question you may find what you are looking for. JAT
