29mm smoothbores carbs

i have a set of smoothbores for sale i bought them off of tom sudman in st marys ohio.im asking 600.00 for them that is what i payed.419 953 0517

$600 is a lot of $$ right now.
I sold Tom a set of Kenny Harmon 410 cams at an IDBA race
at Norwalk,Ohio In 1991 or 92. He loved them, I did not know what I had!!
At the end of that day I sold a set Of 28MM 73-74 Z1 early carbs for $20!! Years before ebay!!
Back then Tom had alot of fancy stuff, pretty bike, nice trailer, Had $$.

Marty with Jims Cly Head Top Fuel bike, One of Puppets gang!!

might be right but if look thats about what they are going for.pay to play thats the name of the game.

why don't you use them?

i must be old i remember buying smoothbores from sudco back in late 70s/early 80s for less than that ive still got a couple sets someplace,if i had to buy carbs these days id buy a nice new shiny set of crs for about same money

everything goes up over the years just saw a set for around the same price on ebay.

Ive had really good luck dealing with tom. if thats what he wants, then thats what they are worth. Why save a few bucks and end up with junk. They will only go up in price anyway

tom is a great guy always willing to help me out or give advice.

Hey Plummen the word is out from the guy that I ride with. The new 29's are way nicer than the 29 smooth bores. They have a bigger throat are much easier to tune and they can adapt to the jmodel intakes in a snap so that you may port and polish accordingly.He said he is totally sold on them which makes me want to get a pair for my bike.
The first 6 bills that someone offers me for my 29s smoothies will be the instant I buy new keihins for my bike too. His bike runs way better than when the 28mm z1 carbs were on it. Those carbs are not so fun to tune and the linkage is not so good on those early carbs. Keihin even has 31s Mikuni's smallest size now is the 34 which is probably great for the track but on the street I much would rather have a little smaller for the nice crisp throttle response.

definately,next mikuni i buy is gonna be a big ol fat 42 for my special little project!
