OK, I'll bear it in mind for next time. Unfortunately I am unable to remove the drums in this video.

YAY! Cheers buddy

11th Hour Industries make the 2-into-1. It takes some time for them to make it and ship it over to you from America, but that's all you need, really. That, and the carburettor.

Hi. I don't know. I don't have any problems with that company and I hope this video didn't come across as critical of them - they do honest business and they do what they say they will do - and you can certainly make a 2-into-1 work, either the side ones or (I think preferably) the back ones. At the time I made this video, the 2-into-1 from 11th hour was the only real alternative to standard carbs or smaller dual Mikunis. There are now many more alternatives on the market, including a ready-made, dialled in and tuned, dual Mikuni setup which is more like plug-and-play (although expensive). Carb jets for the original carbs are also available now, apparently, going by what I read on Facebook. In general, what I did is possible and others have done it too. But I don't recommend it if you have other choices, because it's frustrating and tricky to do. One of the issues I had later on was the carb drooping. I had to support it from the back with a metal bracket. Also, you have to use an angled throttle cable fitting to route the throttle cable, or else just support it from above. I'm not sure you would do that with the side inlet. So if you have another option (i.e. not 2-into-1), go for that instead, I reckon. Good luck.

The back one may be more convenient when thinking of ways to support the weight of the carb. Also, it's likely to run less rich due to less condensation.
