I ran my bike for the past year+ of riding without the carb warming pipes and only hooked them back up recently. I wasn't affected by carb icing at all. It's the only bike I've ever seen them on tbh.

If you don't use the pipes do they need to be blocked off
Or can they be removed from the carb altogether by warming the carb an removing the pipes so it looks neat
What about the head an thermostat housing can these be blocked off
Does any one have a pic to show how they have done it -

@dan28 Leave the carb alone. But the head will need to be blocked off, or lines looped, else you'll have coolant coming out of the head.
