I was looking at the same set, are the all black stock? Or di someone rattlecan those?

The GPz750 had stock black Mikuni carburetors. The other 750s had silver Keihin carbs.

Ware are you from?
I have a set off a 1982 KZ1100 Spectre maybe we can work something out.
Cause I would like to rebuild the set I have on my bike and go with pods also.

Will be running custom header/exhaust, pods, he did mention he had a three angle valve job when the head was overhauled.

Those mods still qualify as a stock application. On that engine the GPz750 setup will be the best.

Thanks again, should I plan to have to re-jet at all?

gs 1100 head is like apples to oranges.....kawi police carbs? what size?

If by apples to oranges, you mean spacing, I measured a set of gs1100 carbs, they are 75-95-75, I believe is the same as the kz1000.

If not, what did you mean?

Hey, what makes the Keihin carbs junk?

Curious, trying to learn...

Thanks

Well the Keihin's arn't junk. That said, they are okay as a stock carb on a stock motor. The Keihin has two butterfly valves. The first is the choke plate at the air cleaner end then down stream of the slide there is the throttle plate. The Mikuni has only one butterfly plate, the throttle plate down stream of the slide. So the Keihin's 34's don' flow as well as Mikuni BS 34's giving the Mikuni a better flow rate for a given size.
