Mark90 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 ok I'm really concidering quad carbs for my 20 and i m wondering what it costs to get motorbike carbs set up n a 4k with a 3k bigport head (as i have one here ready to go, with an unknown cam (how do i find out what cam it has)) i know carb costs can vary but what would t cost to get the bike carbs set up and running??? i might have someone who could make up a manifold for me, bur what would it cost in other parts and tuning??? Hey man, if you check out my ride thread I am also looking into it and have got some handy information from other members, scored a set of Mikuni carbs off a FZR1000 to go on my 12R engine. If you jump on eBay and write in Mikuni Carby it will give you an idea on what your looking at carb and filters wise. I don't think manifold will be very expensive, it's really cutting plates the shape of your inlet manifold gasket and welding tubes on them to go to the carbies (no one makes manifolds for the 12R either). From what I've found out (Glenpos - a member has been a big help in my research) tuning is a bit tricky but when sorted is easy and you will have to customise something if you want a choke, which would be ideal. You should be able to use something like brake cable to run to your existing linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
