Don't forget about the XR 750 racer, it has 2 carbs.

That and the street legal factory dual carbed XR 1000 [sm=shades.gif]

S&S made a two barrel ( S&S two throat) for a while and Holley makes a two barrel for big twins.

Here's a Mert Lawwill XR 1200...

Mert Lawill was a Harley factory racer - not a builder.

Hey Guys Y2K and Thumper26

Thanks a lot for your informations...

Very interesting website, but it will be a dream to drive this kind of bike here in Switzerland. It's worser than in California to do tuning on Bike... I even have problems with my 2 in 1 Screameagle Exhaust.....

So what, its weekend now.. have a nice time and enjoy the weekend

cold and snowly greatings
