[QUOTE="westgl, post: 74830, member: 2025"] In my opinion you have what I like the best out of all of the GL 4-cylinder series Bike's. Don't get wrong I Really Like them all, but you took the best from each. I like the, GL11 Carbs they seem the best, to me, no plastic button to deal with, they are just sooo Smoooth and linear, and have a longer pull length, I also like the looks of the GL11 carbs better than the GL10 or GL12, the GL12 carbs are much more abrupt with a shorter pull length There is no substitute for CC's, GL1200 wins that catagory I am not sure on the GL10 heads and cam in the GL1200, that is where your riding experience with your new [b]Frankenwing [/b]will tell it all When i was building My brother in laws 75' GL10, In checking all numbers, it had the correct block, heads, and Cams, but the carbs from a GL11, When i mentioned that to my brother in law and trying to yield the most out of it and to match the hot cam in it I had to source some 75' carbs, found some at a cycle salvage yard not too far from my house. My brother in law also wanted something different as far as colors goes [/QUOTE]
