Why are the carbs in back of the engine? I've seen pics of old Triumph choppers where they reversed the head putting the carbs in front and the exhaust out the back. Is it because of cooling? They want the exhaust side in the airstream maybe?




I think it is because of heat disipation, if the exhaust was under the seat you would have a hot arse . All bikes are set-up like this with exhaust sticking out the front so there must be a simple reason for doing so...
