Yes,the UK is in Europe,unfortunately for us at times!
The UK is not normally considered Continental unless perhaps by you guys in the US of A. Although some parts of Europe may be called "Continental" by us in the UK. Confused?? So am I.! Get Mr Graham Brown onto this. Im sure he will make things clearer than I can as he has done quite a bit of biking on the "Continent". What have I started??? Bungo

I found that if I mount the carb and back plate and get it all aligned, then tighten the two real bolts to hold the manifold in place, then remove the carb tighten every thing to specs.. then when the carb and backing plate are back on everything fits fine...the cut off allens work great in other places.. especially the Rocker box covers ....lots cheaper than the special tool.
