    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.

my mothers trike has been running really awfully recently, found the pod filters and carb - head rubbers were shot so we've replaced the rubbers and filters, problem is the carbs no longer fit, they appear to be too wide, the carbs aren't 850's, they're off an XJ900 and dont know why they no longer fit seeing as the new rubbers are identical, my main question is are there any other carbs that will fit the 850 CV head??
cheers

You need to check ! There is a right & left to the boots at least to the Suzuki models
 
cheers, tried the rubbers every way possible though, was really doin my head in, was hoping something more common like bandit 600 carbs or something similar would fit
 
how far off are the carbs from fitting the new rubbers? they may have been warmed up to make them softer so the carbs would squeeze in
 
yep, original rubbers, even cross checked the old and new ones, same numbers
