It my experience with a 1200 oldwing motor mode with earlier bigger port heads and hotter cams ...I ended up with 1 1/2” runners ...and I got good idle after modding the idle circuit of the Weber two barrel carb ..32-34 ...it really dose take a progressive linked carb to get full range rpm ...my set up is a monster power house that get great mpg also ....nice work
 
I THINK THAT I can only go to 1 1/4 because I have to come up tires the triple backbone. So I might go at it again or I can just leave it alone. I am sitting on the bike where the passenger would sit and the front fork tubes are 4 inches up threw the triple tree. So the handle ling had to take the backseat to the look of the build. Also the shino ties are of the old firestone thread, good for rain but no brisk cornering. MY NEXT PROJECT IS THE SISTER TO THIS BIKE WHICH IS AN 82 CB900C WITH 30000KLM OR19000MILES ON IT. MAKING A CAFE RACER OUT OF IT. I have a set of SU H1 carbs off a 1961 mores miner these are simple carbs that have a 1 1/8 inch buterflys and venturi ,they are related to the carbs that came on your wing and my cb but different.. They can support about 60hp, so I,m stuck again with performance or the look as the SU carbs are polished aluminum and brass slide tops and brass throttle arms and brass choke levers, I call them chock levers as the pull the jet tubes lower to in rich the cold mixture . Anyway when they are cleaned up they are a work of art. IN CLOSING THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP. WILL LOOK BACK AT THIS FORUM NOW AND THEN AND WHEN I,m done with the cb900 will send a few pictures, Again thanks see you again, bye for now

IMHO, the handling should NEVER take a back seat to the look. Unless of course it will never be ridden.
