inlet manifolds...

I've just fitted a long range tank - one that allows you to keep your toolbox - and the top of the carb was way too close to the bottom of the tank. I'm running a dell orto 30mm and it was on a short MB manifold with a rubber. I got a longer AF manifold and slightly longer rubber but the angle means I'm still too close to the tank - further out but higher up if you know what I mean.

Does anyone know if there are manifolds which come out at less of an angle, more horizontal like. Ben at Rayspeed thought SIP might do one but there aren't any pictures on their site. I'll give them a call after the weekend but thought I'd just ask in the meantime.

Thanks

John

Would a snake-head carb top help you?

i looked at the snakehead but there's not really enough space. The Rimini one looks interesting

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, is the carb on the traditional side, or the TS1 side?

I assume from the replies that you want one for the traditional side. If so, be careful what you wish for. If the carb sits lower to accommodate your tank, the float bowl may hit the head cowling.

What about a ScootRS manifold that they flog for the PWK carbs?

You'll need to spend some time with a dremmel to get it to flow, it's quite restricted inside.
