G`day
I`m a bit lost as to what to do. I`m doing a 1216 Bandit rebuild with flowed head,and MAY BE gix cams. I`m building this to be reliable and if so,something I could ride around Aus on if I wanted. I do want to ditch the 36mm CV on the Bandit, and possibly 38mm CV from 750 gix,or 36mm flatslide. Now one issue is the 38mm is a 20yr old carb, and from what I understand,they can`t be fully rebuilt. Then for the 36mm flatslide,as i`ve never riden a bike with them, and what they were designed for,I don`t know they will suit my application, especially if they suck juice like its going out of fasion, or can they be riden with a light hand and still get desent distance on them, and are they a pig to use in day to day life.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks John.
