Another Carb Question
I am working on my 56 Pan. It has a Bendix carb on it. Should I keep it or get something else? Was thinking about the S&S and it doesn't see like there are many good things posted about them.

Re: Another Carb Question
If the Bendix is working for ya, why not keep it? I had one and it totally sucked so I went back to the Linkert and I'm pretty sure thats where I'm gonna stay.

Re: Another Carb Question
I understand a lot of people want correct parts for there bikes with that being said, I have had an S&S super E on my bike since I built it and never had to do anything to it since the first time it was tuned. I have had that carb on it for almost 10 years. Scott

Wreckman!
The Bendix is a good carb.
Face it,
There are no 'bad' makes of carburetors,... only over-engineered ones.
Just my humble opinion,

Re: Another Carb Question
Maybe I'll save the 500 bucks and run the Bendix for now. There is a long list of other stuff that I need. I love stuffing money in my Pan.
