Flatslide needles

[mick41zxr]

Ok, have been chaising my tail with a set of FCR's. Have been up & down needles, main & main air jets, bike makes more power top end with larger air jets, however running a larger main to compensate the needle runs too rich. Does anyone know who carries a good range of fcr needles & does anyone know how to convert an oem needle to ones on the keihin scale. Ones I have are marked 91EXR. Measured they look around the 90DTH mark, I cannot find anyone that sells a D taper needle for the FCR33.
Thanks,
MB

My tuner ordered custom needles, it was worth it!!!!

Thanks Cargo.
AFM, next question would be do you know where from. I have found a mob in the US that has a fair range but nothing lean enough that I want.

Sent a note to my tuner about the needles. I'll let you know...

Thanks,
Got my hand on some funky dual taper needles that were pretty good but I have no idea where to get any others in the range.
Numbers don't match anything from Keihin.

My tuner finally got back to me, he gets his needles from sudco. http://www.sudco.com/Carburetor01.html

Thankyou.

Got another followup note that might give you more insight. It's been a few years, and he's like the absent minded professor, but he said the needles weren't a custom taper but were "Custom in the respect that they were not the ones listed for the application". Hope this helps.
