Well said.... a lot of money for what they actually offer.

The SV has great carbs to be honest, I still run with the OEM carbs.

Re: flatslide carbs

Depends on setup and other components. You also lose the choke, and the easy drivability of the stock carbs- flatslides dump fuel as fast as you turn the throttle, so you can bog down something rotten if you're not always just right. Are you a throttle chaser? (ie, do you ever open the throttle then wait for the revs to catch up?) Can't really do that with flatslides.

Re: flatslide carbs

I gained 6hp from about 4K, would be horrid on the road and not really a benefit, but on track theyre great, the bike will virtually accelerate as fast as you can open the throttle (tuned motor).
If you get them from Allens they're about £750+ vat, JHS would be a bit cheaper but take longer Or order them direct from the US from someone like SVraceshop, a friend of mine got his for about £530 when the exchange was good

Re: flatslide carbs

thanks guys i knew the story with the cracking opening of the throttle and bogging down ,but the way i look at that its just like a correcting tool to get my timing smother and applying the throttle more evenly smother = faster ,i have done the cam swap from pointy to curvy and have a full akropovic system on it and it is used for racing

Re: flatslide carbs

Have you considered FI? The bits are likely to be cheap and there are some good inexpensive controllers around.

Re: flatslide carbs

Also you can bore out the pointy throttle bodies for a bit more poke.
