I have a 1988 GL1500 with carbs that are developing more personality than I'd like. I have a really cherry-looking pair of 1995 carbs that I'm considering swapping into the bike, but I'm concerned that there may be problems lurking in the shadows.
The only differences I can see are the elimination of an altitude compensation vacuum circuit on the '95 and a different approach to accuating the cruise control.
Can anyone offer some insight before I waste a lot of time on this? I'd prefer to make the swap to save time and money if it will work. This is my daily commuter and I want to have the bike down for the shortest possible time. On the other hand, I value the reliability I've enjoyed so far and don't want to trade funky behavior for squirrely behavior.
Thanks,
Jack
