    I have. i enjoy the simplicity of them and sound. i just took a 300 ish trip with no issues at all. only think i don't like about them is the location of the choke. also FREE CARB CLEANING thru him when you buy a set. which is nice in the winter.

      tHANK YOU, Lee!
      I was wondering if anyone else thought running 2 instead of four carbs were better than running a non-perfectly synced quad set-up. It seems like the ethanol-blended fuel available nowadays eats up the diaphragms faster and faster every year,

        Yes, ethanol IS bad for our bikes. What I like about Idaho is ethanol free gas, both regular and premium, is available. I use it in the bike and my small engine power equipment.

          I personally hated them. Switched to rs36 mikunis and never looked back.

            New to the forum, same experience. What did you do with your vacuum advance when switching to the rs36s?
