Carb bounce will split after market carb to head boots. Cable ties are made of nylon and will stretch so eventually will not achieve the desired effect, also its an untidy heath robinson bodge.
It's simple to make a couple of straps which will hold the carbs rock solid and look tidy at the same time.

02 Jun 2022 08:52 - 02 Jun 2022 08:53Thanks Warren, that is a much better idea. Did you use 2 straps on the outboard carbs?
Joe
No, on carbs 2 & 3. The cam cover bolt on those two carbs is directly behind the mix cover screw on those two.

This has worked well for the past 10 years. Although I have to agree with Bama, never really had an issue before installing this. I did so after taking a real hard jolt on a pot hole one day. Put this on so as a precaution.
