mikuni flat slide 34mm

I was holding out on ya Joe, but since there is no stopping your momentum, I would ditch the Mikuni and keihin crap all together and switch to Lectrons :woohoo: or if you want some real carbs cobble together a rack of Amal's

Well beef, let's see, 29 CRS = @$750, building your motor to handle RS34's = @ $3000 if you do all the assembly yourself. You're right, he should buy the RS's, hell it is his first bike why not have 150 ponys strapped under your ass straight out of the gate. Learning curve be damned, it's not your kid that could end up an orphan.

I have had them on my bike since I got it. No doubt in about a day or two you will have about a million people telling you that they are too big, you should get some super expensive 29mm or 33mm round slides or even CV carbs (BARF!). Don't waste your money or time. Get the RS34 carbs. They are cheaper than most other performance carb options (beside barf-tacular CV carbs) and I have had NO problems with midrange or low end or tuning or anything like everyone always predicts.

They have accelerator pumps that are very adjustable - both onset and duration of squirt. Totally eliminates any response problems. The whole idea behind the accelerator pump is to use a bigger carb to get more top end without losing any of the crispness and response of a smaller carb.

Get them and put them on. You won't be disappointed. They worked great on my 1075 when it had a stock head and an Andrews 2x intake cam. They worked even better with bigger cams, and a ported head. Amazingly, they are very forgiving when it comes to jetting. I have changed the exhaust and baffling, changed air filters, compression, head porting, cams, basically everything. Jetting changes - zero.

I'm tired of everybody badmouthing these carbs saying they are drag race only, no passing power, and so on. And they sound cool as they clack away at idle (if you go for that sort of thing).

Just sayin'

160 on a bike is a far cry from 160 in a car but from your vast arsenal of experience on bikes I can see why there is no difference to you. And as far as where I got my prices from maybe from the receipts I have laying around from just freshening my 1075 , air filters alone for the RS's will range from $70-150 on their own not to mention the j model intakes for around $60 and the high flow petcock for a c-note if you don't want them starving for gas. All the sudden those Mikunis cost you a grand just to bolt them on. Add $450- 500 for the 1075 kit another $400 for the k410 cams, and $1400 for a stage 1 port job from LarryC and whaddya know $3000. Did I say it slow enough for ya Joe?
