Would you want to fit it to a 1200 engine? Wouldn't it be overkill?
Would the fit a singleport and what else is needed for it to work on my engine?

I wouldn't say overkill, i'd say you'd make it into a better running engine than a single carb. Obviously that heavily depends on the rest of the setup.

I'm currently having my old 1200 rebuilt and it will have twins on, only because i have them spare and it seems to annoy everyone when i say im doing it.

So you saying it can work, but then will the engine hood be able to close? Also what would the benefits be Dan?

They can work, but will have to be jetted for the 1200. You would get better fuel economy as well as better acceleration and a better top end. Thats why i called and secured them for my Lolette :twisted: or my brother can pay me off for a while and put them on his little puma

What James said. On the fitting side, I don't see why not, the carbs aren't exactly huge
