FCR Carb rubbers

Post by Davw »

Have a set of 33mm FCR's but no matching carb rubbers - which seem to be like rocking horse toad. The original CV rubbers are too small - anyone solved this problem before?? :smt017

I hope cradley havent started a new policy of random ripoffness as i still havent got over paying nearly 40 quid or whatever it was now for my front wheel bearings!

that said, i did need them.. and as usual they where on my doorstep the next day.

For bearings I usually go to bearing suppliers like these: http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/ball_b ... 7Qod2mM29g :smt002 £40 is just a rip off!

My flatslides go into my CV rubbers, it's a bit of an effort, but they do go in :smt002

Lightly grease or oil the rubbers and they will go in, when you take the carbs back off the rubbers usually pull out of their housing though. (not a problem)

Part # 16065-1241 x 4 = 3,696 Yen
Part # 92068-006 x 4 = 672 yen

About £30 for the inlet rubbers and the vacuum block off caps.

You do get 38 & 40mm inlet , 38 are OK for the CVK rubbers but I wouldn't be forcing the 40 in there as all you'll do is reduce the intake size.

MM!
