90° intake runners to mount air pods horizontally

[RonW]

These kits are on eBay, here. Dunno if the stock carbs will fit, but the vendor includes their own carbs in the kit. Even an air pod. $40 each.

By the looks of that carb. It would require a cable to go into the top to operate it. So to use 6 of those you would need to make 1 thottle cable into 6 cables.

Well, at least the tank won't be the way with the horizontal design. If the Valk carbs actually fit, they should sell just their intake runners.

  No bolts on a Valk carb, Hose clamp both ends.

Can't use the OEM carbs... these are sold by and shipped from China ... I wouldn't put a $20.00 carb on my lawnmower.

I bought the same set up, for a Chinese scooter project. I had to re drill the main jet because it ran to lean. Why not just pick up a set of manifolds for a Valkyrie from fleabay and have a welding shop cut and re weld them facing out. If done properly the stock carbs would face outward with minor plumbing and cable re routing.

Is this idea just for looks ? I'm not really understanding the strategy.

Carbs reversed has been done before. A guy named TrickRick and his bike Scorch.

The inlet to the Valkyrie carbs is not at a 90 degree angle.  If you attach them to a 90 degree intake manifold as pictured the carbs would be at the wrong angle. If you want to carbs to face out, just turn the stock inlets 180 degrees.

I wonder where that bike is now.
