Been Around the Block
I wish these were around when I was lookin' a few months ago.
The only ones this eBay store offered then were the one with flanges... First time I've seen a decent knockoff with a normal spigot.



I ended up gettin' some VM30's... but a carb is a carb, they do the SAME thing.
Now those knock's are close to about $77 bucks total, on OEM cycle you can get Free Ship, for VM's starting at about that price.so, if you're getting two, that could be a good option...


But anyway, aslong as you can find the proper jets for that ebay carb, I would say do it.
And it's ebay... you could probably talk down a shipping deal. win win!
 
well how does your 360 run with the v30's? Im tempted to just get the real deal vm30's off dime city with them pre-jetted for like 110 a piece to save me the woe of jetting them myself, along with saving some cash over buying all the brass to rejet. Im hesitating to jump in though quit yet. you have any clue whether the flatsides fit the bill for the 350/360's? plus, couldnt u run 26's due to the increased rate that the flatsides deliver?

I'll let you know in a few days :p
Once I button the wires up, i'll be good to go.


Even if you get the DCC carbs you still have to re-jet, from limited recent experience and much reading, every bike is different.
Even when I get this thing started, I won't be able to tell you much just yet; I'll be playing the jet game also...


As for Flats, theyre good for high rev engines/WOT. I would imagine they'll run on street too, but VM's are more all round.
Other than that, when I put TM's under my tank, the Top of the slides touched. Theyre alot taller than the VM's.


Look up CrazyPJ's thread... He's got a 360 I think shaved to (378), running on 22's.


Those knock's aswell as the Mikunis will work just fine if adjusted properly.
 
Looking at the DCC's again, they have 200: mains.
The ones I got from Sudco will come with 250's I think... which wont work.


The 200's could work, my guess, depending on how open your exhaust is... and your intake.


I think I'm going to start around 155 then work my way a size up or down...
For now my exhaust will be fairly loud. Just getting some ebay baffles and screwin em in.
Got some Cheap Emgo Pods for now.
 
I ended getting the VM30's from DCC for my 360. Andoor had some great carb specs and i only had to make minor adjustments.
Main 150
Pilot 25
Needle jet #159 P-0
Needle #6DH4 w/the clip in the top notch and 1 mikuni shim underneath
Air Screw 3/4 turn out
 
Bitchen. i hear a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but from experience mt... did u see a major difference in the swap? prob a bit more liveliness? i figure some fleabayer will buy the keihin's off me for like 50-70's bucks for the set and that would be more than worth my wild to blow the extra 150$ on fresh carbs
 
Did the math and you wouldnt save really much/or anything by buying the jets on ur own over the jetted version...... food for thought
 
For sure, I agreed with that. But I didn't mean it in terms of savings. As mt stated, he still had to make adjustments.
On my behalf it's all just speculation... I'll see what happens when i get her fired up.
 
jqdp. The round slides have better throttle responce and are better for fast riding. If you have alot of mods done to the motor or exhaust/intake there way easyer to tune. But the stock cv's are smoother through the rpm range and as PJ has shown can be tuned with enough work. Most of my riding is on back roads where i can get on the throttle so the VM30's were deffinatly worth the money. Your going to have to buy some jets though because any thing thats pre jetted for 350's to 500's isnt really pre jetted.
