Okay, I've done a lot of research before recently becoming a member. I've posted the thread "Best SCC Thus Far" which I have had awesome responses to. I've had my '76 GL1000 for 6 years now and have been battling the '81 GL1100 carbs that came with it the entire time. The carb rack is currently redone and sitting on my bench but I'm almost disgusted with the thought of reinstalling them for the 14th time. I have the removal/replacement of the carb set almost down to a science. I bit the bullet, joined this forum, and moved forward with this mod.
I aquired a West German Solex for $10 from a local VW guy near where I work. It didn't take much to clean up and I bought a rebuild kit for $23 at my local Napa. In a matter of 2 days, It's clean and ready.
I bought a manifold off of Ebay from a seller named boilerboy. Research on the site showed he was selling lots of these and I've seen several build threads and pics with this style manifold installed.
The local Honda shop has new o-rings for my manifolds which I plan on picking up this weekend. Hopefully in a few days, I'll be doing a test run!
If I can figure out how to post pictures now, I'll get them imbedded in this post.
