I'm going to try them on a stock 1.7 type 4 build that I have in the wings. Here's what I have so far...

The bores look pretty close. How close are they? Any stumbling blocks you've found so far?

They are 36mm and the spacing, center to center, is 90mm.

Should work great on a mild 1.7-2.0.

VFR. I know there was a VFR 750, not sure if there were other sizes made anywhere else. Its a V4 motor which is convenient for our use of the TB's.

VFR, AKA Honda Interceptor, 750 and 800, pretty sure the 800s were all EFI.

Na, Linux since ~1994, (On my Amiga3000 `till ~97)
I always set up spare partitions to play, but whenever I try any *BSD it's too much like going to France. (so to speak, nothing wrong with France, I 'd actually love to visit, blablabla)
I DID run NetBSD 1.0 back in the day for awhile as it had decent support for my A2410 video card, but too much of the software I needed wasn't available back then, and ~all the development was done on Linux... Need Latest version==Run Linux or port it yourself...
(WHY wasn't Pi declared in the BSD libc? I always hated that trivial annoyance...(Pre autoconfig IIRC))
Then RH5 shipped and I lived close to a Frys...
I have settled on running Mandriva for the last few years. Generally bullet proof as a desktop and media center/etc box, no RPM hell, fast and stable.
(decent as a server box too, with Webmin and freinds, OTOH so is ~every other flavor of Unix)
I'm a glorified mechanic now and haven't done any programing in years, sucked at it anyway.
Occasionally have to fix Win boxen, which perversely frequently is best attacked using a Knoppix CD...

Sortof a threadjack...but oh well.
Thats quite the paradigm shift for you - programmer to mechanic. I'm a wannabe mechanic posing as a network engineer by day. I too love the penguin!

Slick!
How big are the butterflies, and what did you do to adapt to the Weber/Dell manifolds?
On a 2.3 ... ~42mm or larger?
(Suppose 40s would work to ~6Kish)
