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.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
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.
