Member Ghostt will be testing the conversion mod from 30mm to 32mm. The 32's are a bored out version of 30's...direct bolt on. We're interested to see any changes in street performance...positive or negative.

Came out nice for '86 vintage, eh? ....30 year old carbs!

I'm sure he'll offer some feedback and comments here as time allows.
I would expect better top end performance at the expense of low R.P.M. tractability. Hell, I just put a 32mm Mikuni on my 500cc Honda single. Some guys installed 34s and weren't too happy with the set-up in stop and go traffic, but they ran like the hammers of hell in the upper R.P.M. range.
