Thanks RandomKZ650
Both fit the same bikes, so (other than number and price) what is different between them?

My bad, duh...
According to the Partzilla application charts, they both fit the 1982 KZ1100-A2 Shaft. However, the price for the 1135 is less-than half that of the 1131 :huh:

My bike has a ZN1100 head (like the GPZ) on it, which supposedly received a mild port-job at the factory. I've been running the old 1135's removed from my J-head on it, and can't recall if there was a difference in the port sizes. The spec does call for the 1131's for that head, but I can't see it making much difference.

I'll be fitting 42mm OD RS carb spigots into manifolds designed for 40mm, so a new pliable set ought to work better than the five year old ones with BS34's on the bike now.

Using the rubbers in the wrong application is no no unless you want to bodge it because as well as the difference in the shape of the lip they also sit at different distances from the face of the mounting flange so that GPZ 's internal lip won't line up with the 'J' carbs groove and vice versa.

:ohmy: This is news, and its not good either. Hope I'll be able to cancel my 16065-1031 order now. I was just putting this to bed, and zed1015 just had to wake me up.
Update: Thanks zed1015. The cancellation of my purchase was accepted, and the guy didn't clobber me over it either. :whistle:
