Hey, why does the GS's carbs have both sliders and butterfly's?

I was asked by a co worker of mine, who happens to be a mechanic, and it boggled him as to why our carbs have both... cause some have one of the other.

anyone know?

Constant Velocity carb.  Throttle cables control the BFlys and the slide is vacuum controlled.  Provides better mixture control in transient conditions than a single plate carb and the Bfly has lighter throttle pull than a straight slide.  CVs were the last major bike fuel system change prior to injection.
