well I've searched for a couple of hours or so and not found anything very helpful on this topic but maybe I'm using the wrong search criteria.
I was wondering if there were any reasonably priced alternative carb options for the XS ? that don't require extensive machining,... frame alterations and the like.
It seems to me pretty pointless in spending $200+ on a used pair of carbs that are going to need a further $400+ of parts to end up with a 35 year old pair of tarted up carbs that are still going to be worn and needing constant fettling to keep in tune.
Surely there must be a newer carb off a more modern bike that would be compatible and not require too much modding to fit .?
