They sit in the same rubbers as standard 34mm so I was thinking it was the engine side, but you are right, they narrow a lot at the slide and that's where the 29mm comes from.


On GSXRs RS34s slot straight into the standard rubbers, on my Unitrak head RS34s require a certain amount of pressure to go into the rubbers (a ratchet strap helps a lot)

I was meaning they go in the 34mm rubbers found on GS1000CVs and later Zed J style heads but not the 26/28mm style rubbers that will be in Mr swirl's head.
