Well the Yamaha R1 1000 Carbs are fitted to the my 1600 MK 1 and now tuned. The little buzz bomb hoots along now[:p]

Gotta say much better that the ole twin 40mm dellortos[:x)]
and
more economical too.
Stay in tune longer, lots longer

Fitment was a lot easier than I thought it would be[:u]

What manifold did you use? Or did you make one?
Look forward to seeing the setup at AFD.

had one made Rhys. Maker will also be AFD

Oh, and I note that the inlet manifold is cold to the touch when the engine is running [:x)]

R1's are 40mm straight thru not like Dellortos/Webers that are 40mm down to 35mm at the manifold[B)]

Should be some pics here somewhere?
