Hello,

I've been wondering the same issue. Early Virago's had Mikuni's and odd's are much higher to find those from salvage yards than TR1's. Have anyone placed those Mikuni's to TR1?

A possible alternative if you wish to keep CV type carbs would be the Mikunis on some models of Ducati two valve twins. I've seen 38 & 40 mm pairs on 400 supersports and I believe theyr'e also on 600 & 750's Whatever you fit be sure you can get alternative jets & needles as some Mikunis in particular are model - specific ie no alternative jets available. Slide type carbs are a possibility but can present space problems - usually taller than CV's and youv'e got to find room for the cable runs under the tank. Lotsa luck.  Greg
