I'm an idiot! Who did I buy from?

[Merritt]

Ok guys.  I bought carbs from somebody a couple months ago.  Cleaned out my PM box.  Now I can't remember what year the carbs are.  If you sold me carbs in the last few months, can you PM me and let me know what year they are?  Thanks!

It shouldnt matter 89-00 are the same... if its the new style it will have an extra jet 

[Merritt]

Perhaps I should take the carbs out of the box and take a look then......

Yep  you may be woried for nothing 

I think even the new style will work on the old GS w/ a bit of work.

Yeah, the carbs are interchangeable with the possible need for a new throttle cable. Just toss them on the bike, and if your throttle cable doesn't connect to them, get the other one. Simple. You could also just post a picture of them. Buddha and many others out there could tell you which of the two styles of carbs you have in mere seconds.

Yeow, what problems you have ... first you want to rebuild your forks, but show no interest in buying metal. You just maybe want to put new seals in it ... sheesh.
And Now this ...

Top in black = 89-02.
Top in silver = 04+.
Top in black but smooth top, instead of a round part in the middle that is pressed in = 01-02.
Easy.

Cool.

I knew Buddha would be able to differentiate carb variants in the dark...
