I apologise if this has been done to death but I'm new to the forum and I have a question, I'm thinking of fitting twin Keihins to my 73 850. Does anyone have them fitted? They look good to me. I would be very grateful for any opnions or feedback based on experience. At the moment I've got twin Amals with chromed brass slides and I'm considerably underwhelmed. Cheers, Steve

Bought a set from Jim and the run great. One problem though was the the cables to the carbs were too short or maybe the throttle cable was too short. I had to shorten the cable housing to make them idle down. Other than that they work great.
I understand that these carbs are 2 stroke carbs according to the bike shop in my town.
