Question to Keihin flat slides

[CLEMTOG]

Webber carb was almost universal on twin cylinder sidecar racers in the 60's and 70's
and Laverda used the Dellortto version of the same thing on the Atlas, and Dave Solver (not the Honda people) used a DCOE and half on his triple
CLEM

Interesting approach, I know Webers were popular as a performance modification for cars but not usually installed on bikes.

Münch used them on the TT...

 

[Tippie]

I have seen a few SF with side draught weber. They needed fine tuning, were flat in midrange. Race car tuners knew those carbs best.

That is a car.

No, thats a car-motor in a bike!

We have Münch Nr. 3 here round the corner, may be in the most exclusive privat car&bike-museum in Europe: Dauphin Speed Event
Of course there are although several Laverdas incl. a SFC 750 no. 16802.
The Museum is in a state-of-the-art building in which there is a clean room climate so that the vehicles do not have to be dusted (scratches).



There are al lote more weber carburators:


From time to time we make a visit with the bikes/cars to the museum.

I had a pair of the Dellorto twin throats on a Z900, back in the day.

You'll soon be telling me that a Gold Wing with trailer is a bike as well.

Well - Honda sells it through bike dealers, not through car dealers...

 

[piranha-bro2]

Trikes with trailers? Yikes!!

That's not a reason. There's no big difference in mentality nowadays.
Some people even ride bikes with more than 2 cylinders.
Probably more hooligans in cars. What have we become?

[Dellortoman]

I sometimes tow a trailer behind my sidecar outfit. I reckon my next trick will be to put a tow hitch on the back of the trailer so I can hook up another trailer to make a motorcycle powered road train
As far as I can tell, I wouldn't be breaking any laws. I suppose that's only because it's never occurred to the the law-makers that anybody would be mad enough to do it.

I ran 2 side draft Weber's on my 1600cc 69 Ford Lotus Cortina - What a Beast of a Rally Go Cart ;o)

Sadly I beat the the McPherson struts to death, which would have cost me over $1200 to replace at the time so I sold the car and bought a second had 68 123S Volvo 2000B with 2 SU's and put a Marine cam in her - Ended putting 500,000 miles on that car through all kinds of shit - Most likely my favorite ride of all time ;o)

A story with that Cortina: After a house party we decided to go to the Cape (a local hotel and bar) for last call. 14 people crawled out that box car for 5 minutes in front a Cop Cruiser watching the scene - It was halarious - LOL
