Ian,
Did the S1 &/or SII ever come with this setup? Why does the parts list
show two designs for the dual carb "bat-wing" airbox device.
My parts list is at home (and I'm not) so I can look it up later if you
need more info. The reason I ask is that it increases Jon's chances if
they were used on more models.
Cheers,
Paul.
