    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

fancy some smoothbores but not sure what to get. any body have any pro's and cons between Mikuni or Keihin?

also has anyone had any experience with this ebay seller?......

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MIKUNI-RS...pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2a28ba275e

not sure if is a genuine expert or just a guy out to make a quick buck, but he does seem to have a good selection of performance carbs. (see his other items for sale)

OR, has anybody here got a decent set they would like to sell me for a reasonable price? ;)
 
If you want roundslides, there's not much to choose between CR's and smoothbores for road use. Condition is everything if secondhand. Smoothbores you'll only have the choice of 29 or 33mm. Until recently I'd have said 33 was too big for a street 1000 but they're working very well on a customer bike.

Flatslides, again nothing to choose, depends on what the service is like local to you for jet availability etc. I've worked with both RS's and FCR's and both can be made to work very, very well.

Depends ultimately on what sort of a deal you can finagle...
 
cheers Greg. i have suppliers available for spares and jets etc. for both. i think i am leaning towards flatslides, not entirely sure why though!

You just want to impress people with the rattling slides at idle....isn't the bling already there enough ?

Oh, All Blacks to beat England tonight too....
 
not after the bling, just the best performance for the buck.
England will probably lose, we are crap at everything haha
