    There’s plenty of reasons to ditch a mikuni. Performance and reliability are nowhere on that list. Finding a better carb than a mikuni is hard work.

      I agree.......

      You know, my first Harley had a carb just like the one on his bike...... I rode the bike everyday for two years as that was my only way to get around and I NEVER had to adjust it, not once....... It was a great carb........

            That type of sticker is quite common... Just about every biker that has been around for a while looses someone and they often make those to remember friends. I doubt you will find anyone on here that knows any more than that.

                Making flatside shovels ugly since whenever....

                Any other reason- not worth making a great looking Motor ugly.

                  Haha. I’d argue the strip too. You’re building a flat side because they’re cool.
