[QUOTE="kerry, post: 156765, member: 3981"] Hi Steve, I took this out this afternoon for it's first run on the road and it really is a superb bike, after just 13 miles there is not even one tiny drop of oil underneath, but these mk 2 carbs do seem a bit out, I tried to balance them and got a bit better but bit of a flat spot coming off tickover so need to try again. Personally I like monoblocks best as they use on D series, but I think I will either get the originals done or buy a new set which are over £1000, Mk 1's as you say look better but if I change then I will go for the originals which I had on my last Shadow and they were perfect in operation !
