I put a single carb on a 650. I am using a Stromberg 150 off a triumph car.
I use 1 inch copper tubing for the manifold. Have had it on for 3 years now. Still working fine. B) B) B)
I'll see if I can find a link for it in archives and post it here.

Here is a link for one of the posts.

Popular mod on the Kaw twin forum Some dude from England has experimented with the single carb on the 400/440 and the consensus is that anything bigger than a 35mm is too big. As in too hard to jet down. I would think that from a 32 to 35 would be ideal. I have been looking for a set of 35's for my 2 440's. As for the lean condition it is a none issue as the cylinders will suck what they need from the manifold. The design they were using had the carb at about a 60 degree angle instead of the 90 deg in the video. I like the 90 degree set up as it dumps the mixture right in the middle of the manifold. warning this thread is full of info and real long.

Not sure of where they got the screens but My concern is filtration. I want to look at a small round chrome airfilter housing. Might look real good in that location also. I have some parts bikes to play with, I'll get back.
