30mm carbs on wg's site was created by wireman

I was trolling on wgs site looking for some carb pictures when i noticed hes now selling 26mm carbs bored to 29 plus mm now.
is it just me or wasnt he one of the ones a few years back that was making fun of that guys web site who was selling those knock off x-pipes and carbs bored to 29s saying those carbs were a rip off,with no proven power gain?
but now that hes selling them they work just as good as 29 smoothbores :whistle:

He has been fooling with them for a while. He found someone that could bore them.

I could be wrong since it has been several years since I have been down there but the peoblem wasn't the boring of the throat but the fuel delivery. I think the fuel passages had to be bored also.

I'm feel old this morning and could be wrong.

I wish I had a set but ,I have 34's!!!! Roy

I think that price is a little out to lunch. I have no doubt that George feels its fair given the work he puts into them, but theres a core charge too which makes those 30mm carbs cost $85 more. I could buy brand new CR's or RS's for the same net cost after selling my carbs on eBay.

Am thinking the smoothbore's jet block "smooths" air flow through the bore around the slides.
And wondering how this feature may be replicated in the bored out carbs. :unsure:

Would also think the piston valve (slide valve) would require some modifications as well...
Wish I had a 29mm smoothbore parts breakout/manual... Anyone have one in pdf?

I can hear NADS now...
I drilled & drilled the hole is no longer filled.... etc.... :laugh:
GO NADDY GO!!!!

Interesting concept just the same..

Its interesting but the fact that Mikuni RS34's are $670 kind of makes it a little silly to buy bored out 30 year old VM28's.

I remember Maxi-Products boring carbs years ago. Found a link. Guess it still bores carbs. Page down a bit from here: MAXI-BORE

Ahhhhhhhhhhh @ $250, not a bad price.

Maybe worth a try for someone with an old set of 26mm for upgrade to 30.5mm...

Thanks for the link.
