      The old VM carbs use to be bored as an upgrade. Seen an ebay seller that does the boring. Not cheap at over $400 a set. Care to tell us what bike you have?

      Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

        easy for a good machine shop to bore out VM26's to 28mm. After all, thats what VM28's are anyway. dont go bigger than 28mm
        No idea about any other carbs though.

            Cost/benefit question

            The Maxi Bore guy claims big changes in flow rate, but you can buy some bigger carbs for that money
