Fine. You keep your Webers (I have nothing against them...if I was building a racecar, I might fit them also), but I'll keep my SUs on my road cars, thanks.

My daily driver '66 122 has 23X,000 mi, and the original HS6s with Grose bowl valves (and ONE new throttle return spring)...THAT'S IT! The throttle bushings are a bit sloppy at this point (so it idles hi, but so what...I don't drive around much at idle!)...I'll go through them at the next opportunity...but my carbs sure as hell haven't needed "a lot of work" so how can I agree with you!

Incedentally what do you do at the shop when someone brings in a Hawg fitted with one of those terrible SUs? (which is apparently a popular change...I wonder why?)...do you give it to one of the other "liars" to work on, or does your shop just work on Jappy bikes, just about ALL of which are fitted with carbs of that "crappy" CONSTANT VELOCITY design?...just wondering! Hmmmm

I guess we'll just have to agree to dissagree on this one...that's why they make chocolate AND vanilla....but we can still drink beer together, OK?

BTW, Do you have a name, or is there some reason you need to hide behind anonymity. I stand behind what I state...with my name!

Cheers
