me and a mate of mine was dicusing bike carbs on my 1200 ohc, if I was to do it what size bike engine would I need to take them off. all the connections won't be a problem, but I'm a bit stumped on what size to use having never done one.

the most common i think are r1's but to be honest putting them on a larger engine would see better gains

unless you get head work/lairy cam/decent bottm end build then they will barely improve things...
