Default Motorbike Carbs and Rollcage tubing

Hi everyone

I'll kill two birds with one stone.

First off-i've f''ked up my roll cage-i need to buy some straight lengths of cold drawn seamless steel-40X2X1.5m Three pieces of?
Anyone know the best/cheapest place to buy? Quoted 20quid per meter.
Any help hugely appreciate of

Also I'm in the process of making a inlet manifold for a set of r1 carbs to fit onto my zetec-i know a pal used Bogg brothers rolling road to get his set up-is there know way around this-isn't there a tool-/anything rather than having the hassle on of going to a rolling road-I will do so if i need to-I'm not going throttle bodies-because inlet manifold/carbs/ecu have all set me back 150 quid-compared to 340 for motorbike throttle bodies +ecu

Please i need some advice-specially for the cage bars.

Andy

ARE YOU USING THE CAGE IN A SITUATION THAT WILL REQUIRE A SCRUTTENEER?????---(WILL BE INSPECTED!!)? OR JUST TO IMPRESS YOUR MATES AND PRETENTIOUSE DRIVING SKILLS!!

Setting the bike carburettor shouldnt be too hard. I would jet it rich to start with in order to avoid damaging the engine, take her for a spin see how she feels and then jet up or down from there. There are lots of guides on the internet about how to set up carburettors but basically its trial and error.
