I have done my research on electric carb heaters, 2nd hand ones from USA are £25 each, with no guarantee whatsoever they will work, Stein Dinse do not have any in stock but want Euro 41.70 each when they do, Discount bike spares have what looks like a very similar gizmo for a GSF Bandit for £31.30 each.
I have already discounted the use of the oil pipe heaters, because of the messiness of the plumbing so the upshot of all this is that my M900 will be unadorned with any means whatsoever of preventing/ mitigating carb icing. A decision I might come to regret at 11.00pm on a misty chilling late September evening, coming back from the pub.
I have bought 300mm of aluminium hexagon bar for £7 and will make some float bowl blanking bolts and for the electric heater now being removed.
