I was wondering if this would be a good idea for a blast  ok honestly I have no real clue what I am doing and know I have bugged EZ a lot about this and that. I was wondering if anyones thought and done this or looked into it for a blast. I know a carb for a cylinder on most Vtwins is a great set up so 2 carbs to heads. but would 2 carbs 1 head work?  this is an image from cycle xchange and I was looking how it bolts to the head. would that be a better solution for the blast? it would be strait back like a lot of the custom chops are doing would this set up make it better? what do you all think? | ||

No, that would not be a better solution for the Blast! That would probably be way too much carb for the Blast. The size carb that is on the Blast is used on high performance engines more than twice the size of the Blast. The better solution is to jet the stock carb a little richer, higher compression, better cams, a great exhaust and that is all the solution you need for the Blast. Good luck | ||

Concur! Some things just look cool. There could be some gains for specific tuning requirements, but the amount of work involved to see gains on a stock bike with 34hp would be far too much work for the pay off. Some things just look cool and thats the rule for custom bike building. The list of pointless, impractical modifications is very long. You could just mount it on the bike and use a dummy carb on one side. No one will know  | ||

What about putting on a DUAL EXHAUST ??? | ||

FWIW: Single cylinder engines have used both dual carbs and dual exhausts in varying configurations. | ||

The way that thing looks I would say it came off some old twin cylinder rotary valve snowmobile. That must have been/be a real PITA to syncronize the slides. Actually looking at the manifold it looks more like a single carb setup for a twin cylinder engine. | ||

Looks too much like work. |
