Found it! If you are having trouble fitting the carbs. I found this on Greg Copes racing engines web page

"Manifolds
For those of you who are planning on running 40mm Mikuni Radial Slide carbs on your '91-92' GSXR-1100 motors, use the intake manifolds from a 1988-89 GSXR-750 and match these to your intake ports."

Hey gang,

Any negative opinions on throttle return on the RSs? Since the slide is not on bearings, I understand they need a very strong spring for return. Not a drag bike problem, of course, but a real fatigue issue on the street. Solved with the Keihin brand but they're $400 more.

I'm thinking of adding some flatslides to my machine soon. Opinions???

Hi

Just got the carbs on and set up. Few things still to do (got a spare airbox to chop up to try and hide the pod filters, also need to sort the breather out properly).

Anyway, the throttle is VERY heavy and (using the stock cables and twist grip) has a long travel. This year I will be using it on the track (top speed runs in a few weeks, target is a genuine 170mph, without a fairing) so not worried, but to be honest I will probably go back to the stock carbs next winter.

All the best
