[QUOTE="Comet Rider, post: 20151, member: 36"] Hi Redbloke, I would definately use a Mikuni, just for the ease of tuning and setting up. For a standard Comet either a 28mm or a 30mm bore. If you intend to tune the bike at a later date the think about either a 32 or a 34mm bore. On my 580cc Comet I'm running a 34mm VM Round slide Mikuni with good results (I can supply more details on request) As Bernd mentioned above, Allens are helpfull, and there is also another alternative in the UK called Motocarb ( [url]www.motocarb.co.uk[/url] ) run by Steve Doran, who has been very helpfull to me. In the USA it would be Sudco on the west coast. Shipping from the UK would be the only problem, as this could be as much as the cost of the carb after import duties at your end, unless you know of someone coming over to Europe this winter.
