Not bad really. The carburetors on the V sit in the bike on a 90 deg. angle. So you can access the top of the carburetors from the left side of the bike very easily. It would be easier to take the air box off, but I don't think it will save any time due to the labor involved it.
You cant really tell in the pictures but for those who have messed with carb slides before you probably remember that the slide is somewhat rough with a matte finish and is a cast aluminum product. I literally removed in imperfections to the casting and sanded it down with 1000 grit paper. Afterward I buffed it out with a buffing wheel and polishing compound until it had a
mirror finish. This allows the cab slides to float in the body and respond much more efficiently.
My next modification is going to be to drilling dimples all over the slide to remove as much material as possible without destroying the integrity of the slide. I need to experiment with some aluminum to determin how much weight will be removed from the slide. Lighter slide means quicker response. WISH I HAD A DYNO TO TEST THIS ON.
