- Nice thought. I've been thinking of doing this also but I haven't managed
- to get any real good info yet. Things to consider is where you get those
- Mikuni's from. If you take them off an actual motorcycle they may have a
- fixed jet in them. This can be corrected but takes time and money. If you
- end up paying big $'s it for the Mikuni it may be best to get them as shipped
- from the factory instead of as shipped from some motorcycle company.
-
- Tuning these buggers is also interresting. Lots of little issues that control
- how fast it opens, where/if an accelerator kicks in, actual flow rate? I looked
- in my motorcycle book for specs on some 32's that came off an old motorcycle but
- not much was listed. I still need to write Mikuni and pray for better info.
-
- If you learn anything that isn't posted to the net, I'd appreciate a copy.

- thanks,
