Thanks, Mike.............most interesting is that SUDCO is out of stock on RS carbs and both RS & CR-type carbs are in for major price increases............ ;)

Your welcome Dennis. The syntax is a little kooky but the pics are nice. I didn't know about the unavailability and price increase of the RS and CR's. Not surprised as they are still very popular.

I’m super bummed to hear that.  Was just about to buy a set of the RS34s when that news dropped.

Interesting read.
I like all info I can get about the TMR carbs.
Luckily no MJN upgrade to order for stock TMR32. $$$ saved ;)

Strange about price increase for you. USD currency is rather good, right?
Different for us in Sweden where the currency has dropped 20% against the USD the last 2 years, or even more.
Or is it about the Yen only?

TMR32 cost 100 Euro more today than when I bought them feb 2015 for 1399 Euro.

RS34 cost 920 Euro at same place. That with 20% VAT

999 Euro for these?

EDIT: The price increase is the new import taxes, right? VAT, customs + eventual fixed handle fee.

How are you doing brother? I have RS34's on the CB. I do have a set of 32 TMR and 36 TMR's on the shelf. I will be flow testing them on a George Schuld head this week.
