DownDraught carbs

I was asked a question today, what bike carbs will work in a downdraught set-up, I thought Suzuki tl, but they all seem to be injected.





Something different, Very different..............

Yamaha yzf600r are mounted almost vertically on the bike. Picture on here http://www.yzf600r.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=59919. I bought two sets to use on a v6 but never finished the project before moving on to the next.

Carbed R1s to 2001 were as vertical as you'll get.

CBR600 carbs are normally vertical, give or take 10 degrees or so. I use mine at about 10 degrees above horizontal - doesn't seem to bother them!
