The bike runs so much smoother and better with those carbs, i believe its a justified investment. I also think the daytonas power figures are resembling the xs, a bit higher of course. May just need a different main and 1 needle shim.XS750AU said:Yep Mk1
A lot cheaper to clean and new mounting rubbers than spend Euro199!
You are going to need new mounting rubbers no matter what carbi you have on it. I my humble opinion get the mounting rubbers and see how it runs. You are going to need to rejet the Triumph carbies before you even get started!!!

Just finished cleaning my mk1 carbs lets see what they will do...i will set the mixture screws to 1 1/2 turns out for starters.
Just figured today that i have mk2 carbs on my parts bike...when i opened the carbs they were nice and clean but two posts where the floats are fixed were broken off...so i guess they are paperweights now.
It was very straightforward, bolts straight on to the stock rubbers.XS750AU said:If you can find someone to weld them for not much, then they would be great. If they want to charge shop rates then might be better getting the Triumph carbies.
Just check that the pitch and mounting boss on the engine side matches the mounting rubber boot internal diameter on the triumph carbies.
I am using a triumph 1050 header on the 896 and the pitch was perfect, but the head interface needs work to make it fit. The triumph carbies Dave used were a simple fitment. Was that correct Dave?
It should run OK on the Mk 1 carbies, at least to see if the rest is OK.
