Help me find....

I have been wanting to get some carb diaphragm "stack covers" in polished aluminum with the screen inserts. I would like to know who sell them and what should I expect to pay. I have seen a few variations on bikes so if you want to post some pics with the info that would be great.

someone was selling a few sets on ebay about a month ago, but i dont see them anymore.
you can always buy them here http://www.exactrep.com/acatalog/index.html

you will have to put the screen in yourself.

Jedi also makes a nice set.

What Bill said. I would just keep checking back on Ebay,.....

 

[VMAX1260]

Cannesmotoservices have nice ones. You should check there too

 

[one2dmax]

Yep, I have 4 sets of the Jedi covers on hand available for sale (see prices in the Morleys Muscle section)

Thanks for the info, I'm kinda liking the Exactrep style.

I think i have some extra heavy duty screen leftover that i used on mine that i can send you for yours, if you buy them. I painted the outside of the carb covers flat black then installed the screen and i have had numerous people bend over and look directly in them and would swear they were real...

I even had a few vmax guys think they were v-gas carbs...
i said no these are p-gas (poor mans gas) :biglaugh:

Not sure yet, still kinda checking my options at this point. I would like to hear some pros and cons on these.

I like the looks of the "standard length" stacks over the short ones.

The short stacks look too stubby to me.

These would be another cool option

Sweet for sure, but I've heard it takes forever to get anything shipped from them, especially to the US. And then there's the cost...

Thanks for the offer Bill , what you used is very close to what I have. Thought about putting it on the carb ( exactrep ) extensions , just never got " round to it " ! unk: May be a project for when it gets cold ! :rofl_200:

Hey, everybody. I ordered a set of the polished stacks from Sean. How do you mount the screen to the stacks? Does it just get put under them or do you put it down inside the stack? Thanks.

I sure would like to see some close up pics after install, if you can hook me up with a couple shots that would be great!
