Thinking about trying to fit a set of 41mm carbs off a vtr 1000 onto my trx for a budget upgrade, what do you reckon?
has anyone tried this before?

The 40 mm ones on R1 is same as the ones mounted on the later 99 TRX´s....might be an easier fit!?

Allegedly, there's a version of the stock TRX carbs with pumpers... That might be a small upgrade.
