THE HIGHEST LEVEL ( Its about time ) New carburetion system for Honda 750 SOHC and DOHC
WE MADE THEM... THEY USED THEM... " The CycleX Carb system is the best new product developed in 30 years. Simple, Dialed in and priced right. We wouldn’t even consider anything else. " Jeff Zeller, Custom Choppers Inc. ( Boulder Junction, WI ) " The CycleX manifolds with Mikuni carbs are better than any of these modifications ( Individually or collectively. ) Velocity stacks, straight pipes, cam, larger pistons. They're easy to install and the quickest way to get massive horsepower gains." Rick Hoover ( Saint Charles, MO ) " Ken's carb system has it all. Price, looks and function. I will never rebuild another set of Honda carbs again. Too much time and money when this new system looks cooler and out performs those old carbs. I couldn't be happier." Conrad Hoover ( Saint Charles, MO ) " It's nothing but the best and the service is even better. I would like to tell everyone out there that I know nothing compares. If some of you die-hard 750 owners would buy them. You will not be sorry. THEY'RE KICK ASS! Raymond Cawley ( New York, NY ) "These carbs and manifolds are nothing but the best! The
service you get from Ken is even better. There is nothing I know that compares.
If you are thinking of " The difference between Ken's Carbs and stock is UNBELIEVABLE!
This motor has never run this well since I first put it
together!" Kit includes: SOHC *Not recommended for stock

Ever wonder why some bikes run better than others with the same components? Why does my buddy’s bike have this jetting and mine doesn’t like that jetting? For conversation sake, lets assume (Never assume.) that both bikes are in the same condition, same electrics, tuned up, altitude, etc…. (Mileage unknown.) Why do some bikes require different jetting? Story: We had a customer’s motorcycle that began to run rich. All the normal tune-up stuff was ok. He is the original owner and no changes were made. (Exhaust, fancy air filters, etc.) Question: So
why does the bike run richer? Failing ignition? Dirty
air filter? Float malfunctioning? Bad
fuel? Answer: Worn carburetor needle jet and needle. Just like pistons, carburetors are working hard. Slides are moving up & down, being pulled & pushed with intake pulses constantly wearing the inside of the needle jet. The needle jets and needles are very precise and wear is immeasurable. The detection of this problem is sometimes difficult. (Unless you spend a $100.00 per hour on a Dyno.) When you drive
a bike at normal speeds, you are generally in the pilot circuit, slide cutaway,
needle jet and in the needle a bit. These circuits work together delivering fuel
to your motor. A little wear in the needle jet and needles is why some bikes
with open exhaust, open air filters SOMETIMES run better with almost stock
jetting. We wrote a tech article on exhaust systems and tuning and basically
said: Select an exhaust system you like and jet accordingly with an open mind.
Same with this needle jet, needle topic: Do not go into jetting a bike with a
preconceived idea about jetting. Keep an open mind. We do not know if needle jets & needles are still available or if you really need them. This was just a
story and maybe this will help someday.
