    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Going to 2 carbs on my 550L

This is gonna be a tough project man. I'm with you on doing something different/odd just for the hell of it. However, if you only use 2 carbs and expect to get the same performance, you're going to need 2 BIG ASS CARBS. I'd look for some VM carbs on ebay though. If you're into fabricating stuff, try to figure out a way to get some VM26 carbs off of a 750 to work. I picked up a set of VM26 for $130 not too long ago, and there are all kinds of them on ebay still.
I know I'm not much help as far as giving advice on running 2 carbs instead of 4. And as for the "haters" on this forum go, it sucks they don't wanna help and that they weren't the nicest (us motorcycle riders tend to be opinionated jerks most of the time FYI), but they are right for the most part.
The engineers at Suzuki and the other 3 leading Jap bike producers, were all originally fighter jet engineers. After WWII, R&D on fighter jets in Japan got the kibosh and all those genius engineers got jobs developing the fastest, most well built bikes of the time. 69 years later, those carbs and engines are still holding up and carb technology really hasn't advanced that much since
Fuel injection is really the only alternative to having 4 carbs on a 4 cylinder bike. but now you're talking electronic controls, fuel injectors, headaches, computer thinggys, programming some micro potato chip or something... Who the hell wants to deal with all that though?
Pop a wheelie!

Hey, how do you know we are old farts ? And my mama taught me that it's no use beating a dead horse.
