This is the company that delevoped the kit for my Thruxton. Brian is most helpful and I have no hesitation is recommending his services. Disclaimer: I have no links (financial or otherwise) with this company, other that as a satisfied customer. If I find a company that provides excellent service and products, I like to pass it on for others to benefit.

Rob, thanks for the Photo's, noticed that the adapters on the carbs to the rubber manifold connectors are fairly long, is it possible for this kit to be adapted to stock airbox, as I am running a modified airbox with a unifilter.

Cheers...............agro

According to British Customs, these carbs cannot be fitted with the stock airbox in place.

I would strongly recommend that you replace your modified airbox, with an airbox removal kit, or cut the existing airbox as has been shown here in other posts, fit K&N pod filters and gain an easy 5+BHP and a few extra ft/lbs of torque.

You can also use these intake manifolds.

Hi Bonnie1000th

Your intake manifolds are the ones offered by British Custom, aren't they? I will be fitting these, as they will properly align my carbs. The stock rubber 'boots' are not strong enough.

Hi Rob:
My are from SBT, but British Customs offers those too.
It really works well, the fitments and carbs alignment is great!!
I have a question : what was your A/F ratio in the dyno run that you posted?
many thanks!
