Where did you get the carb`s from Chris and how much mate......perhaps you have more and wish to sell them to me? ;) Prefer fcr`s myself only because i`ve had a lot to do with them in the past though.
Is there any/much difference between the two types in performance/economy etc.

Question`s,question`s.....

Cheer`s

Wish i'd never bought them LOL they cost me £420 and loads of headache! they are off a gsx400x and i thought it used a Bandit motor, it may use part of the motor but the head has a different carb spacing so ive had to rebuild and its not a straight forward job! They WILL FIT. Had some Bandit 4 FCR's before and loved them, only got these as they were new and have a side choke + the power jet that fires fuel when you wack the throtlle open, i dont give a fcuk about the fuel consumption as its for the track and im just after more power. I Know a guy in the USA with a set of FCR's that are from a xjr400 (straight fit) but you know how much they go for!!!
