that's handy with the insulators, and some base line settings are always helpful. good luck with the project.

Thanks Larry, for now it all seems to fall into place. Wonder what gains there are using these carbs.

Cheers, Rob

Rob, I think most of the gains are due to the fact that they are more tunable like many good carbs.
It would be intresting to see what they weigh compaired to a 4 carb set up, they do look nice though.

They are a bid on the heavy side. Will do a comparison weigh. Hear very different comments about these Weber/Dellorto unit, from 'undriveable' to 'best I ever had'. Two very interesting and very fast bikes had them overhere. A 1080 and a 1003cc bigbore units.

IMHO one of the fastest road racing CB's ever, 1080cc of raw power

the cushion on the tank is to take a nap during long endurance races?

If the Dels perform as well as my Webers, you will be happy, despite the weight increase! (I believe my Weber setup is about 4 pounds heavier than a stock K7 carb rack, but the scale I used was not very accurate.)

whats with the tube running from the front to beside the carbies, some sort of cool air ?

voxonda · « **Reply #84 on:** December 09, 2010, 10:41:07 pm »

@TG: yes, idea behind it was to give the forearms some rest by taking the weight off.

@Scottly: You have a close up of your setup? What engine do you run them on 750, 836?

@Scunny: These are the oillines covered with insulation. Big oilcooler in nose of the fairing.

Cheers, Rob

I'll bet it was hard work getting tucked in with that big pad, did it really have to be that thick?

Sam.

voxonda · « **Reply #86 on:** December 10, 2010, 01:09:49 am »

I can only quess it had to do with personal preference, I would opt for a less steep angle of the clipons. The pad was only used in the 24 h and not in the shorter races.

Thanks Alex,

My friend Piet does a terrific job on this bike. Hope to get mine, and myself, in shape for Spa also.

All the best to you too.

Cheers, Rob

Looking real good Rob but you forgot to put the crank in.

Happy Christmas mate.

Sam.

voxonda · « **Reply #91 on:** December 19, 2010, 10:40:34 am »

So that is why the compression is so low

Merry X-mas to you and your loved ones too Sam.

I thought that one might have been the lightweight version.

Have a good one Rob.
