Note that on newer sport bikes, the carb bowls are not level but are canted because the modern engines lay forward for weight distribution. I haven't had much luck in my several attempts to adapt these carbs. I also don't think the spacing is adjustable. You are looking at the enrichener circuit on the side pictured and the slots are on the slide arm that pulls open the choke plungers. It probably wouldn't be all that hard to mod some of these carbs for the right spacing but I think the bowls are a show stopper. Give them a try and provide some feedback.

thanks george, when i think about it your right even to get these on would leave the float bowls at an akward angle.once again cheap parts do not always mean a cheap fix.:S

If you figure out how to use them, don't be shy... let me know. I have about 5 or 6 sets of those things! wg
