Darren, indeed the OE Mikuni is far from perfect, but it has been completely overhauled (US cleaned and all wearable items replaced a couple of years ago) and to date it is working surprisingly well, the only thing it does not like is long periods of inactivity! A good reason to use the bike.
The plan is to still go Mikuni but with TDMR, tried those on a 900ss and I was impressed, they do match Keihins but with the benefits of firing the air box (if required) and they do have a choke/fast idle.
Still as you said carbs are not as good (precise) as injection, but I am lucky enough to also have one of those “digital” bike in the garage, hence the fun element of the monster.
Obviously no point in spending money (lots) on the carbs when I still have W heads, so heads swap would be the first step.
Thanks for the advice on the heads, And the differences with the 900ss. Anything else that will need to be changed for the head transplant? (Apart for readjusting carbs...)?
