Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted January 22, 2007 yup and you will probably have to get some fabricated as its not something thatis generally upgraded on a bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted January 22, 2007 Actually there are some stacks for both the R6 and the R1 on the market, but chances are they will be too short for a car application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted January 23, 2007 Not sure about carbs, but measure the internal diameter of them with the black trumpets removed - I used Weber 45 trumpets on my bike bodies and they fit in a treat with some slight mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
