Different Funnels on Keihin CR?
« on: September 23, 2016, 12:10:19 PM »
Hello Guys.

So first of all, i'm a dumbass! I thrown away my original Black Funnels to my Keihin CR carbs.  :-[ Until now I drove the bike with KN-look-a-like filters, and the bike goes quite well. But a friend of mine just mounted a set on his GS1100 and he told me there was a MASSIVE difference between riding with filters and riding with funnels.  ???

Anyhow, I have a nice set of Alu funnels from some Weber IDA (vw aircooled) and they fit OD on the Keihin. But now to the question:

The original Keihin Black Plastic Funnels fits inside the carb and the airjets goes outside the funnel, to maximize flow i guess ? And mine alu funnels just goes on the outside of the carb body. Would this  #$%* up the flow, and be as "bad" as filters ?

Reason I ask before I mount is that I need to mill the funnels a bit so they will fit beside each other  :D

Any comment are welcome.

Don't the CR stacks thread into the carb throats?

got the feeling that original CR stacks keep the jetting holes outside for a reason.... same for the diameter continuity, with yours there's going to be a big change in crossection at the carb entry, doesnt look right

those velocitiy stacks  seem to be kind of old school, CR and current ones have a much mich larger radius at the tip
