We ALL, (skeptics included in reality), look forward to seeing it installed on the bike.

Wonder whether it will work OK?

I think late 80's early 90's Ducati 900SS had a downdraft weber set up, and from memory the upgrade was to ditch the troublesome bastard of a thing. I'm sure you can make it work, but I doubt it will be an improvement over stock carbs. But I'll be happy to be proved wrong. The world is full of nay sayers. we'd all be riding around on leaky british singles if no one tried new things

The carb is just one part of a plan I have for my bike, I imagine that the 44idf won't flow as well as the standard carbs that are fitted just now but....I'm still going to fit it just to see what happens!

What could possibly go wrong?

Any progress?

I'm all up for doing 'stupid' stuff, as long as you don't have to totally feck your head to get the carb attached, why not.

What happened with the carb, its been freakin weeks so it must have arrived by China Mail by now?

Aye its here but no progress yet!...frame is away getting powder coated and I'm about to do my fork seals and buy new tyres.
Can anyone recommended a good free image host?

I use Photobucket.
