AFAIK, DJ does not offer a Thunderslide for the Keihin CVK 36, Thruxton or otherwise...

low & behold they are only available for Sportsters. Dang I was looking for a relatively cheap fix for these carbs. I guess i have to search for some flat slides, I just hate the vacuum lag of these carbs!

you could go with a lighter spring and drill the hole a bit to improve it

I can live with my carbs, thanks to Ken and his posted trials and tribulations.

found this 6 sigma racing kit for our bikes, I'm gonna give this a shot, they send you a kit specific for your bike. Might be a while before I can ride again (oh the joys of winter) and give my review.

You can very easily fab two mikuni 36mm flat slides together for less then $400us. Biker has them on his BA and I set up a set awhile ago and they were fun.
