I have a V7iii Special - my first fuel injected bike. Had enough of FI tor now! I need something to tinker with. Just wondering if anyone here, or anyone you know has done a carby retro-fit on a fuel injected V7.
I'm assuming that the existing ignition timing pick-up would be suitable to feed a signal into any garden variety CDI box.
Carby-wise I'd be looking at a pair of Mikuni TM33 or perhaps TM36 flat slide pumpers. They come in quite a range of venturi sizes, but alas, not with accel pumps. The hardest part (for me) would be fabricating a mirror pair of intake manifolds.
I've fitted different carbies to already carburettored bikes in the past, but never a retro-fit onto a FI engine. The Mikuni TMxx series are outstanding units, and quit easy to set up and tune. The Keihin FCR series are also excellent performance pumper carbies, but much more fiddly to get set up nicely.
Any help/suggestions/ideas would be well appreciated.
