For the life of me, I can not understand why the people I sell CR-II kits to typically don't participate on discussion forums. Pity too as the feedback I've been getting has been very positive. I think I've got the jetting dialed-in.

Hey L.I. in Chicago... I know you're out there. You've got CRs on your Thruxton. Tell everyone else what you've been telling me.
Thanks for the message. I definitely would like to hear from someone who has these carbs installed. I almost think that I will get a ton more power from these carbs with the stock airbox and pipes than just the pipes and an airbox (NARK) type of kit. And for the low price (Mikunis are $1,395 I believe) they sound like a great upgrade for the price.

A couple of my friends (riding a Duc Monster and an Aprilia Falco) have suggested to me that the race carb route will yield more extraordinary gains (my friend on the Duc is running Mikuni Flatslides - different bike, but has upgraded carbs and stock airbox) than pipes and intake upgrades alone. I am actually planning an retaining the stock airbox, adding aftermarket pipes, and the race carbs.

So are these carbs pretty much a straight bolt on right? Would they work well even if I plan to retain the stock pipe configuration?
