[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 125356, member: 597"] I've just put a new 40 mm Gardner flat slide on my racer.......not too sure about race carbs on a street bike. I just rebuilt a Shadow with TT Amal's on it..........great carb's and very well made, but not easy to tune unless you have a good supply of slides, jets and so on.......My thoughts are that they tend to run very rich which is ideal for a racer, but difficult on a road bike. The Gardner's have very little in the way of adjustments, so you might want to re think of the practicality of using these........I could be wrong, but I'm just going off my own experiences. I've yet to find out for myself how to set up the Gardner.......once the bike comes back from having it's exhaust done, its time to fire it up for the first time. [/QUOTE]
