Hi guys
Ok, so im near on finishing building my xs chop and want to change the rubber carb inlet mountings, sounds simple yes? No. I have gone to Wemoto and to Yambits and to e-bay etc to find these of which their seems to be a plentiful supply but not that fit my carbs. Now im told that these inlets never changed size throughout the xs manyfacturing period but my carb inlets seem to be some 2/3 mm smaller (internal dia) than the stock dimensions of these pieces. In fact their seems to be a slight discrepancy between both yambits and wemotos spec and a vast one between my own carbs and their inlets. I 'think' my cabs are original to this bike and dont seem to be anything unusual and im told the engine at least is a standard 79 xs engine, having said that i bought the bike as bits so cant be to sure. I cant give exact dimensions this second but i believe im looking for an approx size of 52mm internal but all the suppliers are well over this. Can anyone help a very desperate xs fan.
Thanks
Keith
