Revving Up Your Ride: Upgrading to Mikuni Carburetors and LED Headlights at SpeedMotoCo

Hey riders, Speed here from SpeedMotoCo in beautiful Bend, Oregon. As we kick off 2026, I wanted to share some thoughts on how small upgrades can transform your motorcycle, whether you're building a cafe racer, restoring a vintage bike, or just looking to boost performance on your daily ride. Today, let's dive into two of our most popular product lines: Mikuni carburetor kits and high-performance LED headlights. These aren't just parts—they're the key to unlocking smoother runs, better visibility, and that custom edge you've been craving.

Why Mikuni Carburetors Are a Game-Changer

If you've ever dealt with sluggish acceleration or inconsistent idling on your older bike, you know the pain of outdated stock carbs. Mikuni carburetors, renowned for their precision engineering, offer a reliable upgrade that's perfect for models like the Honda CB750, Suzuki GS425, or Kawasaki KZ400. Our kits come complete with everything you need: genuine Mikuni VMs, manifolds, filters, and throttle cables, all tuned for optimal fuel delivery and easier starting.

One of the biggest benefits? Improved throttle response and power output without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Riders who switch often report a noticeable boost in low-end torque, making those twisty Oregon backroads even more exhilarating. Plus, with our expert customer service, we're here to help you select the right size—say, a VM30 for twins or HSR42 for Harleys converting from EFI.

Imagine installing a fresh kit on your CB400T and feeling that crisp response the first time you twist the grip. It's not just about performance; it's about reliability for those long hauls.

Lighting the Way with LED Headlights

Night rides shouldn't be a gamble. Our selection of LED headlights, like the 7-inch Multi Projector or the 5.75" Pro-Beam with integrated turn signals, brings modern tech to classic builds. These lights deliver brighter, whiter beams that cut through fog and darkness, all while drawing less power from your battery—ideal for cafe racers or bobbers where every amp counts.

What sets our LEDs apart is the durability: waterproof housings, vibration-resistant designs, and easy plug-and-play installation for most forks. Pair one with our aluminum headlight brackets (available in sizes from 32mm to 59mm), and you've got a sleek, custom look that's as functional as it is stylish.
