Only probs with splitting the carbs is having to extend the linkage rods etc between the carbs, and the fuel rail that feeds the carb float bowls

K,cool. Tis miles easier to keep the carbs standard, and make an inlet to suit. But if your working on a budget then its worthwhile having a mess and seeing what can be done. :)
You're looking at £150-200 to buy a manifold. Might get lucky and get on for less. I can probably get thecarbs respaced for between £0-50 if its possible. Worth having a go and will give nice straight runners!
looking at the pic below Adam.
What do A & B need connecting up to? They are listed in the R1 workshop manual as Vacuum chamber vent hose (A) & Float chamber vent hose (B).

Personally Id just sort out the probelm areas in a DIY fashion and give it a quick decent spray with rattle cans. Will look tidier but will still have that 'rustic' (sp) look for you to be able to show off your lumpQuote:

So, the spindle thats in there at the moment is this one and the rod is connected to the ball joint on the right...

I decided to swap it for the other spindle which was just straight (same length) but the ball joint is not offset. This did give a slightly longer sweep but the link bar was hitting the spindle :mad:
Off came the link bar and I grabbed the spare one for the otherside. Modifications commenced!...
Success!! It no longer hits and I've got a half decent sweep. There's still a little more room if I want to push it so I'm gonna try shortening a touch the spindle rod. I also need to get a straight wiper arm from the scrappy. But this is what its like so far...

"A" are just left open as there breathers.
Pretty sure "B" is the fuel supply, and as you can see the carbs have kind of a fuel rail inbetween them.....
