They should be the same as the kat carbs, just 2 instead of 4.-Steve

Thats why I was asking the year. I know the 92 gs500e was the same as my 92 kat. Just wasn't sure if they changed over with the post kats.When all else fails get a bigger hammerComment

BTW, 90-97 600 and 98-06 600 carbs really aren't the same at all. I mean, they function the same way, but they are very different in design.

They will be very similar to pre-kat carbs. I don't know the exact sizing since I didn't google up the answer.
The image I pulled off of ebay for a rack of carbs that era looks like an abbreviated set of pre-kat carbs.
Late model GS500 carbs share rebuild kits and are the same size as 98+ Kat 600 carbs.-Steve

There's a site devoted just to the GS500s with a lot of helpful people and information, just in case you didn't already know about it.
