Mechanical or Vacuum slides

[Guest]

In my parts box I got with my bike, I believe are a set of 32MM mechanical slide carbs.
Would they work better than the vacuum slides I have on there now?
Or should I leave well enough alone and stick with the stock carbs?
These look to be in good condition, and I'm going to pull the bowls and see what they look like in there.
Thoughts? Or should I just sell them and keep it stock?

No, they suck. Sell them to me.

What makes you think they are 32mm ? Did you measure them? Are they round slides or are they flat slides Pics please.

If you have a basically stock engine and ride on the street, the vacuum-operated slides are better.

If you have a modified engine (pistons, cams, etc.) and do a lot of track time, the mechanical slides might be better.

However, you will need to have some SERIOUS mods done to justify using 32mm mechanical carbs on a 750.

I wasn't sure how much mod wise I would have to do to make them work on my bike. Where the throttle cable hooks up is the same, but the rest is a bit different.
I do have some pics hjfisk, and I will upload them as soon as I can find my USB cable. They have the round slides, and I measure the bore at the intake side, and they are 32MM if I measured correctly. And they are complete.
Make me an offer on them if you are interested tkent02.
I will do some comparison photos side by side and get some more measurements and post them on here this weekend.
