caprinerd Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 just thought id share some pics of the engine which ive just dry fitted bike carbs too, the plenium os a modded bmx stunt peg of the kids bike, choke cable is a bonnet pull of a vitara. the carbs are cbr1000 and the manifold was made by stefz a member of the site
NeilT Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 cool m8 realy interested in how this works out you going to get it all setup on a rolling road or are they ready to rock and roll as is???
caprinerd Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 a mate of mine is setting them up for me as he does it for a living and then rolling road for finnal tweeks
MightySprocket Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 looks great what air filter are you going to use?
caprinerd Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 running them open no room for filter becaus of strut brace, got to make a couple of brackets to suport the ally plate holding throttle cable
richie_stix Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 how much did that manifold set you back... been wanting to get bike carbs on the pinot for ages... everytime i have enough cash, a soddin bill comes throught the post
caprinerd Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 £60 the guy you need to contact is stefz on here he makes the up in his spare time and i think he has a complete set up for sale at the mo pm him and have a chat to him he`s in the ipswich manor
MightySprocket Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 is it safe using no filter, was wondering as i haven't got one for mine and they are damned expensive
