Amals - Mikuni

Digifox · 05-12-2009, 11:41 PM

Okay so Im tired of the EX250 being NOTHING but one big problem.
SO im going to ride the Triumph And put a set of Mikuni VM34 carbs on it
No their not flat slides and yes their old ass hell

But the reasons im using them:
1.I already have one
2.The Kit Sudco sells are VM32's
3.I use one and its easy to tune ^__^

No i just have a Question There are OEM Intake manifolds that i guess are used for conversions. and they are $24.99 Each (and their aluminum so they need a Dammed boot)

And there is Also a Set of VM34 manifolds for an XS650 (they are like a dirtbike intake) http://www.sportingforless.com/Manif...etor-p/c14.htm

Would those fit on the Bonneville?

Thanks guys.
And sorry for all the stupid threads.

The XS650 manifolds might fit, but you need to check the "footprint" and the bolt centers- (the XS centers are 70mm)

Well Crap.
The Bonneville has 50.88mm bolt spacing.
And the adapters Sudco sells are freaki $98 EACH!

Anyone have sizes on the Speedmaster intake?

I believe that's commonly known in England, as two inches...

Those are a smaller bore, you need a 34mm bore.

A strait connector would work, if your existing manifolds are the same OD as the VM34's. Britcycles.com has some adapter kits that might work for low $$$.

No...The Amal manifolds i have are maybe 28mm

And the ONLY 2" centre - Spigot adapters are $78-108

But a Trip to Ask & Ironpony might be worth it to see if i can get a Mikuni mounting Flange for like an ATV/Jet Ski

Are you guys talking about the hose (Yes..I said Hose) between the manifold and the carb inlet?
