Very good reliable people

Thanks Kato That’s an interesting site that I’ll be keeping a link to.

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.

I think the FCR-2 is carbs only whereas the FCR includes the throttle assembly, intakes, air filter etc.

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.

Strangely it was only yesterday that I ended up with an M900 airbox on my bench beside a 900SS airbox - don't ask!

They are the same mouldings with the same moulded-in part numbers, but the M900 airbox has the brackets cut off the sides of the battery tray.

On the 900SS the brackets on the side of the battery tray are used to mount it to the frame, whereas on the M900 the brackets are cut off and it's bolted through the two holes in the bottom of the battery tray.
