Ooooohhhhh.... "excess lovers" eh?
An alternative route from fitting the traditional British Amals (which certainly give the bike a real old skool look, and can confuse some folk
always good confusing folk
) is to still junk the old CVs, but fit 'new' Mikunis such as the VM32 (or VM34) round slides, or if the pennies stretch far enough, flat slides.
I've a pair of VM32's that were running on a mates air-head 850 Beema which are intended to go on a XS
650 750
The whole world of customising is strange........ but don't ya just love it
We see
Old Brit twins being fitted with modern Japanese Mikunis to improve running and change the look.
Old Jap twins (albeit a 'Brit twin' made in Japan) being fitted with British carbs to go old skool
OR
modern Japanese Mikunis to give performance (and change the look).
An 850 German Beema having modern Japanese Mikunis fitted for performance and then replaced with the original Bings (cos the engines now
very tuned and Bings are apparently the way to go)
Ones man's junk is another man's treasure...............
