Flatside Dual carburetor
« on: May 10, 2016, 04:47:25 PM »
AFT Customs Cimeron Honda CB750-836

Did anyone see the carburetor set up on this bike featured by K&N (using their filters)?

Its a twin carb set up Don, if you look at the pics you'll see air filters on both sides, its harder to see the twin carbs, but if you look close you can see them..  ;)

Thanks for fixing that for me, Mick.  Now I can see it : http://www.knfilters.com/images/press/Honda-CB-750-836-by-AFT-%288%29.jpg

Blasted iPhone screws me again!!   :o

Still an interesting set up.  I wonder how well it runs.
