The 2 bbl. Weber should offer better performance though...anyway I hope so.<br />Watched a number of videos of Gold Wings running the Solex 1 bbl. They sounded a bit "anemic" to me under acceleration.

I would think that the Weber would be more "tuneable". Plus you completely eliminate the need to balance the carbs. At one of the BMW rallys there was an R100 with a t barrel Weber and it was about the smoothest airhead you ever heard.<br /><br />Good luck on the conversion!RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
