Needs some tweaking but pretty happy with this little set up using Motobits kit for a Cb175. Spacers need turned down smaller and the shift side is being annoying because the bike frame is wonky, which is of course amplified in the rearset, not that you can tell from the angle of the photo...

So the engine work is all finished - head and carbs were the final bits. Engine specialist has done a superb job machining the carbs, some pics below. More to follow at the weekend. Petrol and heat proof hose to sleeve together: I’m just waiting for a couple of these to arrive to go...

The carbs internals haven’t been touched - I bought new carbs (PE22’s) as the originals didn’t have enough metal for boring out.

The adjustable just refers to being able to position the vent tube to suit your set up.

It’s made specifically for a CB200 actually!
