If you add up the price of webers, linkage, manifold, misab washers, jets and compare with bike carbs and a manifold, with bike carbs you can do the job for half the money.

Its for this reason alone that make a weber better. Having the option of altering all the low and mid range fueling, against an ok it runs all right must be ok thing. Not knocking bike carbs one bit i think they are a great idea but feel the price difference wont be a mile apart if they were both put on a dyno and frigged for max performance.
