Carb coversion to SU
matthewmosse:
A long while ago now I read about someone who claimed 90+ mpg from his sohc 550 by fitting a Su carb and home made log manifold. Anyone else kow anything about this conversion and who did it, I'm thinking of doing this on one of my bikes, probably in conjunction with adding a 650 top end to one of the 550 bottem ends littering my shed.............

I was in email conversation with Steve Scott earlier this year. He makes single carb manifolds for Goldwings and also CB/4s

Cheers, better try doing now - well sometime soon anyway, a good link there. I'll probly have a go at a diy manifold first since I've trained as a welder / metalworker and it's embarrasing not to give it a go........

I have seen this done, a chap turned at at a vjmc night, he also by passed the oil way with an external pipe to stop the oil leaks.
It was about 3 years ago, not seen him since, Daz
