If you were replacing the stock Keihin carb on a Red Rocket what make and model would you recommend?
The Shop
My older brother had a 36 Mikuni that was bored to 37.75 on an A/C 400 Yamaha. That thing would go.
Personally, I wouldn't fit a Mikuni to anything with a Honda badge, I really don't like them! But I do understand that in some areas/organisations you have no choice to use one, but you will be constantly chasing jetting.
The absolute best carb to use is a 38mm PWK Airstriker, 2nd would be the normal 38mm PWK, then the 38mm PJ from the mid 80-90's CR's. They completely transform the bike. They will fit straight on out of the box, but they fit a little better with a 5min mod on a milling machine.
They will start easier, rev 1000RPM higher and be crisper and more responsive than you thought possible for a 40yr old Motocross bike has any right to be.
