Anything 900cc + will be fine. My fav's for build quality alone are the fireblade carbs.

earlier ones dont have a tps if your ecu needs one ? So if you need one make sure its got one.

Mods include drilling the jets out and maybe raising the needles ect loads of info on here for specific carbs.

--------------------------------------------

So whats up with the 40's ?

Silvertop 1.8
ZX9R carbs on homemade manifold
Megajolt
2.0 cams
Set up at Bogg Brothers (superb)
120 bhp at the wheels.

Plus I reckon it does over 40mpg. Before I had them set up it struggled to do over 20!
