Title: Eyup from yorkshire
Post by: flc on July 17, 2010, 11:13:54 PM: Hi folks found this site from usa one,
just bought a 550k on a p plate with a few problems,
hope you guys can offer some help.
i just won some carbs on ebay they are the later type (3 screws to hold the float bowls on) mine were the 4 bolt older type,
the carbs fit fine but the throttle cables seam way too short?
the bike runs fine other than this, does anyone have a pic of how the cables run.
or part numbers are they different they need to be about 30mm longer.
thanks in advance Flc.

just been to the coast on her :) felt a bit weak half throttle so a bit more tunning, but enormous grin factor, the super dream brakes have a lot to be desired tho. some pics later.
