Battle of the 28's... Mikuni TM or Keihin PWK ?

[Erwin8r]

I hate the fooking stock carbs!! They, and the TORS turds that sit on top SUCK! Okay, got that off my chest... That monstrosity that sits atop the stock carbs is making my life miserable, so I am going to dump the stockers and replace them with either a set of Keihins or a set of Mikunis. Anyone have anypros/cons either way? I did a whole lot of reading using the search function, and although I found many more entries for the Keihins, nobody seemed to have anything negative to say about either carb.

 

A couple of Q's:

 

Will I be able to use my stock intake boots with either set-up?

 

Will my K&N individual pod filters fit?

 

How easy are they to tune?

 

Set the idle?

 

Sync?

 

I am running a basically stock Shee with T5s and individual K&N pods...

 

Thanks!!!!

I personally like the mikunis( I think they're easier to jet but I have the kehien d 28mm d slides..

 

yes they'll fit the stock intakes

yes you can run pods..

 

everything else is just as easy as you make it out to be......

Iv got the oko knock offs of keihin 28s bored to 30s very nice carbs very easy to tune, never had mikunies other than stock, so I dont know but Im sure there just as good. My pods would not fit my 28s though, and didnt want to try and make fit.

I have used both+prefer the PWK's.I had allot more of a challenge dialing in the tune on the Mikunies.
