David,

Is this for a 1600 or 2K, I don't remember. If for a 2K you might check the
"For Sale" forum on 311s.org, and look for a Mikuni/Solex setup in good
shape as an alternative to the Webers. The Mikuni setup is already set up
(jetting, chokes, etc) for the U-20, and IIRC, Weber throttle shafts rotate
the opposite direction than Mikunis.

If you're running an R-16, I don't think there was ever "factory" dual two
throat setup offered. Check with Pierce Manifolds, who should be able to get
you the bits you need and offer advice on all of the fiddly bits (chokes,
emulsion tubes, air and gas jet, idle jets, etc), which are numerous and
expensive.

Good luck,
Ron
