Changing from webers to bike carbs...?

Hi all

Im giving my webers one last rolling road session on monday to try and get them sorted. If that doesn't bear fruits, i will be changing to bike carbs over the winter months!!

If I do end up going down this route, what you you recommend bike carb wise for a 1700 135 bhp crossflow??

I would ideally like them to be re-spaceable and easy to re-jet. TPS doesn't worry me as i have a 2D ignition solution already.

Thanks

Shaun

My car pulls like a train when flat out - but the progression when accelerating is all over the place at the moment!!

I run my bike carbs with a good old dizzy (zzr1100) and it pulls like a train from 850rpm ALL the way to 6000rpm (which is as high as i want to rev it!!!) Bike carbs are the way forward, (bike engines are not ) they need very little attention once set up too which is always a bonus. I got mine from Bogg Bros, they rejetted them on the spot when i had a rolling road session with them.

I took inspiration from David Jenkins on here and used CBR600FX carbs. I picked them up for £25, made the inlet myself with a little help from shorttrack and had them jetted on Boggs RR.
David's web site shows you how;
Look under bike carbs

ZX6R carbs are cheap, easy to respace and have adjustable needles so would be a good choice.
