Best bike carbs for a pinto?
Hi everyone, been thinking about putting a set of bike carbs on the pinto in my capri, just wondering if anyone has any advice on what to got for? The
engines slightly breathed upon, its got a performance exhaust and manifold, a skimed and ported head with a piper 285 camshaft and i am slowly putting
myself together a megajolt kit for it. 40mm carbs would be nice but what do you all think?
Cheers

Bogg Brothers tend to fit Yam R1 carbs to Pintos, and also do a manifold for them (and will do the rolling road set up).

Are the TB's more awesome than the carbs, any improvement?
Thinking of doing the same...

any carbs from a bike over 600cc should do fine. i'm going for zx9r carbs too.
R1 carbs tend to be pretty expensive i think

ZX6R carbs are excellent. I've got them on my 2.0 Zetec and they work great. They come with a TPS and have adjustable needles that make getting
mixture right dead easy.
