I think I know the answers, plans have been changing for my project, I am very restricted in space for my engine, 4Age-16v, which is still pretty compact for a twink, at around 9" across the head, disadvantages it the ports are wide and narrow, so its hard to get a short transition from round to oblong that flows well, I want to retro fit it to carbs, bike carbs are the obvious, R1 carbs are what my mate runs on his AGE, I think with a Bogg Bros manifold, works fine, but far too wide for me, so down drafts are an option, Honda cbr 600 might work, Obviously, Injection is also an option, albeit, an expensive one for a stand alone ECU........ But I was thinking of going down the Nodiz route, so I am nearly halfway there already financially, Suggestions chaps please, I think I'm going to need 38+mm carbs unless somebody knows different?? ,  |

you're a talented chap so i think you could probably make any carbs fit, is this for the Austin 7? A brace of 4 Amals on methanol...
90s BMW K1100 had downdraughts, not sure what bore though
