Hi all, 

  I've been thinking of replacing my Z-S 150CDs with something that's 
adjustable.  I'm not really thinking of Weber's since they're a little
too much for me to handle.

But, what about SU HS6 1.75" carbs?  Apparently (according to the guy
from Brits & Pieces) they are not available on this side of the pond, 
and the only place I know that has them is Triumph Tune.  

The only other concern I have is that the tall necks on the carbs won't
fit under the bonnet (and will have to be "adjusted" by the local
body shop; not too bad actually since I have some dents on the nose
to smooth out anyway, but it's nice to be able to anticipate costs...).

Anybody in net-land have any other suggestions?  Is a Z-S 175 (I assume
that it's adjustable) a reasonable option, or is the SU the best choice?

Oh, by the way, I live in British Columbia (not California) so I don't
imagine emmissions standards are so strict as to not allow me to change
carbs.

Later,
  Martine
