I got mine from Power Barn http://power-barn.com/brands/Keihin.html but it was some years ago when they cost less and the exchange rate was significantly better than now.

IIRC there's no (or very little) duty but the carrier will charge an admin/handling/ransom fee of around £15 - £20 for the privilege of handing over the VAT. It's still a lot but way less than £1,600 - probably more like £1,200 tops...

all tuning on lectrons is done with needle you just move it another mounting issue on ducati would e the choke lever , each carb has one and a mechanism/ lever to link them and be reachable from side of bike would be needed .

Thanks for the input but I'll stick with a purpose made kit as I need the install to be as straight forward as possible.

Can"t comment on the Mikunis but my old girl has 39mm FCRs-1997/8 M900.Arrow cans and seperate K&N stylee filters.Who ever set them up in Japan knew what they where doing-no flat spots or glitches anywhere even when stuck in traffic and and the motor so hot you can"t get near it she just sits there rock steady tick over and smooth all the way to the red line.OK so no chokes but three pumps on the twist grip and let her warm up(takes a little longer at 0/-1 or 2 degrees) and shes off.Quick action throttle is a must have.This set up was on the bike when I bought it so have no idea how it compares with the stock set up but so far have found no reason to fault it.

Struggling to find a set in the UK that the shop / seller will respond to my enquiries about - strange when you consider its now a £1600 purchase.
Would buy from the States and pay the VAT and import duty if I could be 100% certain what I'd actually get charged. HMRC website says anything over £600 is poa Allens Performance are the UK agents for most carb brands but have quite a bad series of reviews on various forums and they charge top dollar for their wares which is a shame when they are only 15 miles away. |

My only experience with Allens Performance has been positive. Ordered two jets yesterday over the phone at about 11.00am. They've just arrived today at midday. Ok, that's not much to go on but equally, I would be wary of negative forum reviews .. often it seems that those who are most likely to complain are also the least qualified to do so fairly. |

For the uninitiated, what’s the difference between the 39FCR and 39FCR-2? Also the pricing doesn’t make sense. Why would the M900 39FCR kit be £960 and the 900SS 39FCR kit be £1490? I can’t think why they would not be the same price. Yet for the 39FCR-2 Carbs only, they are the same price at £1300 Confused.

As for the M900 kit costing less than the SS, I suspect it's an error AFAIK there is no real difference as the airbox etc. is virtually identical. It gets even more expensive with the split singles as you'll need intake manifolds, different filter setup and (in my case anyway) some mods to the frame to make it all fit.
