Alternatives to PD50 carbs?
« on: February 26, 2021, 06:45:57 PM »
Picked up a cheap 1980 CB650 and just wondered if I can replace the PD50 carbs with something better.

Then in theory you ought to be able to get 500 and early 550 to fit if the mounting rubber size is same

Thanks Bryan, I’ll borrow the carbs of my 74 550. If they fit I’ll try and source another set.
