      They won't work right.


      They are RED.

      Other than that, they look great.

        Red is not the everyday color choice for carbs, what's that old saying? Better red than dead?

          Does the rest of the bike match the RED carburetors?

          If it does it should run OK.

            It may run "OK", but BLUE is still faster.

              Perhaps in the eastern hemisphere, but red carbs on a blue bike would just be so very wrong.

                Umm the carbs are orange. The flash made them look red.

                  Orange? I think they will run like crap, then.

                      Faster than what, yellow? Chartruse? Perhaps Taupe?
