    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Honda DOHC spacing, spigots and jetting.

On CR's the spacing is adjustable, but if you have to buy spigots and rejet, you could easily add $200-$300 on top of the price you paid for them.

CR35's are pretty big too. CR's don't have an accelerator pump (FCR's do) so for stock or lightly modded 1000's or 1100's CR33's would probably be a better choice.
 
They are over priced & at MOST worth his opening bid price. I buy & sell these all day long for 400 a set in great shape, just not NEW. He has the MSRP price for FCRs listed for his & that is INCORRECT. Ray.
 
Makes me wish i still had my cb 900f and a few hundred to spend on carbs.
 
What are the FCR's exactly?

FCR's are Keihin's successor to the roundslide CR's. They are flatslides with an accelerator pump. CR's are still a nice carb, but you need to 'roll' into the throttle whereas you can pretty much 'whack' the throttle open on FCR's. FCR's aren't allowed in most vintage race classes, whereas CR's are.

FCR's;

..and a video of a set on an off topic bike (the slide rattle is normal);

 
$400 will get you a decent used rack of Mikuni RS flat slides, that use standard Mikuni jets, and have an accelerator pump....though to be fair, those are probably in the $600-$700 range as well, brand new.
Though I'm not sure you can whack those open from low revs, even with the pump.:-k

I would soon spend 700 for new than 400 for used sight unseen however...Just me..

True...on ebay, it's a crap shoot. I got mine in Canada, from a guy who purchased them new while putting together a track bike, and sold his bikes and a bunch of parts the following year. He had another set of Keihin carbs on sale that were taper-bored, and supposedly pretty trick, but I had never heard of the concept and went for the RS.

BTW, I saw too late that you were unloading your Ohlins shocks....I would have checked to see if we could work out a deal, if you were interested in the carbs:) . I do want to try them, but my bike is running pretty sweet & strong with the other 36's and I'm in no big hurry to disturb that, and begin messing with it again.:-s
