Bike Carb Mod
Noticed the inlet rubber on my number one carb wasn't on the pen line I drew on the inlet manifold when I initially fitted them so thought I
have a go at stopping what could be a future problem.
Believe the carb weight and vibration caused the carbs to move slightly.
I simply made a couple of strips of steel bent to shape with a hole at each end.
Anybody see a flaw to my cunning plan?
Cheers

I see a flaw in the filters your using, you will really be resticting the airflow with those
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Funnily enough David Boggs did too  They do look nice popping through my bonnet though, strangly though, they don't appear to affect
performance and goes really well for a 1.6.

This what first crossed my mind! A nice Pipercross Filter on there will do it the world of good, allowing to breath a lot easier.
To add i think the the brackets you have added are a great idea, even for just piece of mind! Good work.

I did similar when designing my setup and airbox, tried to replicate how they were supported on the bike:
