Second Generation Ascots > The V-Twin Years: Stock To Lightly Modified
Hey VT500 Fans... Something Exciting Is A Brewing....
J6G1Z:
Sorry guys, but I'm not at liberty to say at this time.
You think there is a demand for VT Ascot choke cables? Maybe someone should approach one of the cable suppliers with the idea. Does anyone know if it is the same cable that the Shadow uses, or is the Shadows cables longer? There is more of a demand for Shadow parts then there are for Ascot parts, simply due to the larger number of Shadows out there. It's nice to manufacture a part that will work for both bikes.
Thanks
J.

Could it be a new carb set-up? :)

No. Nothing that exotic. I would like to find a pair of carbs that are a size larger. Someone once mentioned the carbs from a Honda Trans Alp. Not many of those bikes around though.

Plenty of Transalps and Deauvilles etc here in the UK.
May work nice with a pod filter on the air snorkel.
What about Hawk carbs in the USA?
Dibingo:
Seems to be a joke this tread ! ;D
Why so much mystery? 8)
If it is possible to redo certain parts, we shall be every takers !
My forum will also be interested! (+ 3200 members!)

Rather than to transmit false information, ask me !
I had and know most of these machines.
The carbs of the transalp does not go. Wider, higher. (For the height, we can remove the airbox, but for the width, pipes do not fall aligned. )
Nevertheless they are 34mm but bodies are more cumbersome !
On the other hand, we can re - bore VT5 carbs to 34mm ! (needs to modify cylinders pipes intakes too !)
