[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 50590, member: 778"] When I worked at Sonny's shop , Sonny had a motto, you have to do it all to succeed in the motorcycle business . Sonny sold new and used bikes, did maintenance work and had a few in house products . Fiberglass products were Fairings, Seats, his most successful product was his two in to one intake manifold for the Norton Commando , a single Mikuni carb, there by eliminating the two Amals. Sonny had a large map of the world , every time he sold a complete unit, gasket ,manifold, cable ,throttle, air cleaner a stick pin was placed where the unit was sold. When I left the shop there was over 400 stick pins on the map the pins were vertically in all major countries all over the world, and even some countries that are seldom herd of. So I guess it takes more then two Amals to beat one Mikuni ? :) [/QUOTE]
