    Carb identification - XL350R

    Hi Guys Well, I've been riding my bike around a bit - love it! But it has a minor bog off zero throttle. It's a little hard to pin point, but I'm keen to try a larger pilot jet. I've got bigger main jets in both carbs, bike runs awesome from 1/4 throttle and up. But I'm having trouble finding...

    Deus ex machina?

    Bang on about brand. Same guy who started Mambo clothing I believe. The concept of an overpriced tshirt-as-a-billboard is baffling / genius, same concept as theses bikes in a way.

    '72 CB750 apartment build....

    I just threaded bolts into the steering stops, making them adjustable. But welding on would work. It's a good idea to test a slow speed turn to see if you're going to have problems manouvering. But without a roller its not possible.
