[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 135891, member: 38"] My A twin came with only a few bits of the required carbs, fortunately the rear float bowl which is a bit rare, was included. When I first built it I put on a pair of well used shadow carbs and they were OK but not great. I bought a pair of the new ones forgetting the requirements for the correct spec slide which I had to go back and purchase. Having said that they work very well even tho' I paid no attention to the reams written about why and how you set the front one up to run turned 90 degrees to the vertical. Go for the 289's! Concentrics just don't look right. Says he with 34mm flat slides on his post war Rapide! [/QUOTE]
