Ok, I'll bite... Webers, good idea as far as I know. Parts are much more
available, and from my understanding they are a bit more tuneable. I have
also heard (but cannot confirm) that they don't flow quite as much air as the
Mikuni's, but I doubt it would be significant on the street. I have seen one
Webered 2000. After I got over the idea that it looked different, it was
fine. The only thing I don't like about the Webers is that the velocity
stacks fit inside the carb instead of bolting to the outside... just seems a
little funny to me.
