are st1100 carbs used on any other model of bike

[aSTerix]

Are the carbs fitted to the ST1100 the same as used on another Honda or Japanese motobike ?

Don't know but I would be shocked if other bikes did not use em. I think Keihen or Mukini were the principal carb makers for Yamaha Suzuki Honda and Kawasaki. A lot of these carbs were identical except for the size of the meter jets.

The carb bodies are unique to the ST1100 but many of the internal components of the carbs are used on other models.

I am not surprised that the bodies are unique to the 1100. They are mounted on top of the engine in the 'V'. This is not a common location for them because there are relatively few V-4's powering mc's. While the other parts - needles, jets, floats, etc. can be used in other carbs, the float bowls make carbs position sensitive - you cannot flip them 90 degrees and have them work on another bike. Downdraft carbs were more common on big auto V engines where they could sit atop the engine just like our ST's. It would be more likely that a horizontal flow carb would find multiple applications (bikes). I do know that a few different carbs were swapped on old Guzzis, and way back when, we were talking about improved performance from different carbs on a number of bikes.

I am looking for another rmodel of bike that has the same slide piston and diaphragm as the ST1100

Take a look at the Partszilla fiche. Find the part, click on the part number and it will show you what bikes that part fits. It seems that most of the ST1100 carb components are specific to the ST1100.
