Title: Rebuilt carbs - Anyone know any sellers/vendors?
Post by: georgedickels51 on March 11, 2008, 03:22:59 PM
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any place that sells rebuilt carbs for our bikes or does anyone have any carbs to sell?

there is usually a set or two floating around in the for sale section. i'm starting my own pile currently. hopefully i'll learn something from the experience, and ditch it all for EFI ;)

woah, never seen that before.  At the risk of sounding really stupid, how does that even work?  Do lose the carbs altogether or what? How difficult would that mod be?
