Title: Carb manifolds
Post by: soonerbillz on April 22, 2021, 10:27:15 AM
Tell me why I should replace the old manifolds on my R5.
Or why I don't have to.  They are original 50 year old pieces that are hard as a rock but aren't cracked or broken.

Because bolting nice new bits onto you bike is therapeutic.
