Amen...love the sound and feel

The sound crap's over SU's...and IMO the throttle response of a dellorto/weber is so much better than an SU you can actually FEEL the butterfly's opening and closing...

are 45s good for road use do you need a bigger cam to get better performance from the weber?

Not much out there that will beat a """"WELL SET UP"""" pair of 1&3/4 SUs, that`s my view & i`ve had it for well over 30 years now & won`t be changing it for anyone

But i must say that i`ve been working on a pair of twin 2inch SUS lately for the re-birth of the 1510cc donk :-)

Oh!!! & i have a pair of 48mm dellortos to play with on the arden x-flow 1600cc donk

But then,,, we have just purchased a full quad 38mm throttle body injector assys of a motorbike for $100 off e-bay,,,Hhhhhmmmmm, :-)

I have way tooo many toys :-)

SUs are the go tho,,,webers/dellortos are very inefficient in comparison.

Am I the only one that hates engine noise?

Don't mind a bit of exhaust but engine noise is just annoying :/. Had to go to great lengths to shutup my SU.
