All you need is a single feed gas line for 29's.

Those aren't vacuum lines.
Perhaps referring to the two float bowl vent lines that are supposed to exit to open air.
Mine are routed to underneath the seat.

Good Luck! :)

Don't even mess with a stock petcock. It won't provide enough fuel and will always leak. Get a pingle! It will cost a bit but worth it....Russ

Left side vacuum line. And
there's another vacuum line
coming from between the two
right hand carbs.

You will be glad you did...enuff said. Stock petcocks blow arse. No need for headaches and they do feed MUCH better the gasolina to your carbos. Sorry to those purists who believe that a kz should be 100 percent stock. I think that they should have come stock with pingels and 29's but that would be just my opinion speaking from the experience I have had in changing them out to stuff that really changes the character of the bike. If you have a vance pipe with stock baffle you could run the comp baffle really makes it run better and just a little nicer sound and much improved upon the vance baffle.
But its your two cents that have to be spent in order to realize that. ;)
