Keihin CR or Mikuni flat slides?
29 Jan 2020 17:16 - 30 Jan 2020 12:49
Currently running Keihin vacuum carbs and want better response but i am torn between the Keihin CR carbs and the Mikuni flat slides. Running a 1075cc. I live in florida

I would say--
First choice Keihin CR if you can find them and at a price that doesn't make you faint.
Second choice Mikuni RS, can be a bit finicky to set up, but great when dialed in. Usually easy to find and only kind of expensive.
Lectrons. Do not even consider for a street bike. They are designed for wide open throttle operation, and pretty much suck at anything else.
P.S. Can't see your pics. It seems to be better to insert them rather than link to a hosting site.

At z1enterprises they're almost the same price point. Looking at dropping a grand anyway. Thank you for the reply!

I fixed your pictures to enlarge them, Next time hit the insert all tab to complete picture posting
If not racing , and wanting more responsiveness I would find a set of stock 26mm or some 28mm carbs and just jet them to run correctly.
Small 26 mm carbs would be snappy as air flow is higher at lower rpms
Pipe looks good for chosen design but will be real loud . Tuning may be tricky too
Enjoy

Thank you dave! Everyone has been awesome on this forum for my first post. Yes they are very loud! They get a nice dissonance running cylinder 1 and 2 then 3 and 4 together. Sounds like a v- twin and an old kaw inline hybrid unbaffled. Very pleased with the result. Sorry there's no pics of it tigged together. I'm gonna run a high polish on the pipes as they are stainless.

My mistake..... their sister site carries them dime city cycles. I always forget the distinction because i live minutes away from their office/ warehouse, but they're all under revival . Z1enterprises, randakkscycleshack, mikesxs, and dimecitycycles.
Here's a link to the CR 33s but they have up to a 35.
