Dual carb questions???????
« on: June 15, 2009, 06:47:58 PM »
Ok Seen this done before but cant seem to find the manifold.   I have 2 keihn carbs from a old dirt bike and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the manifold for this mod. seen it done before but can't find the manifold to do it. anyhelp would be awesome.   saw this mod a few times and think it would look good for the look I am after.

Yes like that. thats what I was looking for was the manifold to do that.   also saw it on cycle xchange and looked like I will havce to save up the 500 bucks and just buy the kit.  Enless they sell just the manifolds. Oh by the way its for my cb550

I wish they sold them for 500/550's   It would be so nice to have only 2 carbs to tune or rebuild.

The carbs are not the problem....  Finding an intake is.

It's not like they have to be cast, looks like they might take a couple hours to fab up if you had the tools.
