Bogg bros website gallery.

That top picture says BMW V12?
Looks like an RV8 wth bike carbs in a 7? Should go well!
Just noticed the V12 is in gallery 2.

Just a few pics here of the bike carbs i got for my pinto a few weeks back from boggs, Stephen is a great guy who also fabricated up a handbrake and
gear stick surrounds. They will be going on after sva to replace the current pierburg carb. Sva is only 2 weeks away now!!
Boggs i can reccomend fully

They look similar to the Kwak Keihin CVH's i have for my car - but then if the R1 uses Keihin then that wouldnt be a shock. I thought the R1 had
a TPS on them - maybe only the newer versions.

They are bike carbs (similar to R1 Mikuni CVs). If R1, they will have had a TPS fitted, but it *may* have been removed if not needed as they
aren't a permanent fixture.
Nice quality fanimolds (and just down the road from me!).

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor.

There is one thing those pics prove if i see them right - the float bowls dont have to be level when fitting bike carbs. im now kind of wishing id
kept the carb tops level with rocker cover now for a potentially neater fit.
How easy is it to get to Boggs? What are the landmarks / distances (assuming driving down A1 or A19)?

The top of the float bowl should be somewhere near level, otherwise you may have carburation problems (flooding or running lean).
Bogg Bros are quite easy to find - off the A19 at Thirsk, up Sutton Bank and head for Malton. Through Malton towards Beverley and turn left just after
North Grimston. Follow the road to East Lutton and they're there - it's not a big place!

How nice are Boggs to talk to???? Iam highly impressed to say the least.
Im doing my conversion DIY style. They havent had a penny out of me so far. Phoned to quiz about RR appointment leadtime. Should be able to do in
about a week. Also advised me they dont do Timing work - which is OK as long as i know their scope. I then asked about getting the car to them and
offered to pay for the carb basic settings. They basically said no need to pay for that and told me what to do to set them up for basic running. The
bloke even went and got a set of ZZR carbs in front of him so he could explain precisely. Superb service and really really nice to talk to on the
phone.
