I know about Dave Wilder but can't recall the website of others. One gent I know that does rebuild also has an airbox installation kit I might be interested in. We had a nice chat in Roanoke...believe that's where it was. Anyway, I was thinking about dropping off a set on the way back to Wisconsin from Florida but only if not too far off our path home. Yes, I can ship but this would be easier if nearby to our route...after the snow melts back home. ;)  I know the set I have were gone through fairly recently but was told the bowl gaskets leaked. If possible I'd like to have that corrected and then run on their test engine. I've rebuilt a number of carb sets, just don't feel like messing with that anymore. Yeah...I'm getting lazy as I get older. So sue me. ;D

Someone please give me a name(s).

Maybe these guys?    https://valkyriecarbsandcustom.com/   They do have an airbox mod that's an easy installation kit, but it looks to be on backorder right now.

Yes, I simply couldn't come up with that website. I recalled portions of it but after trying various combos of the name I quit and posted. Thanks loads.

John, lazy, you are NOT.  Anyone that takes a Goldwing engine/tranny with reverse and successfully swaps it into a Valkyrie Trike, is not lazy by any definition.  The issue here is that the trike is back in Wisconsin.....
