what carbs???

hey guys wanting to know what would be the the best carbs to go with my 79 kz 1000 its a 1197 motor an was going with like a 34mm carb but didnt know which would be better???

what else has been done to it and how is it going to be ridden?

Yeah... what cams? Lift? porting? what head? exhaust?

How you gonna ride it? Where do you want it to make the most power? Low, mid, high?

Come on guys, none of that matters. Smooth Bore Mik 29's make any bike magic... :laugh:

i told jack the same thing,he said he had to hold the throttle pinned on the 29s to keep his bike running though! :woohoo:

the only thing i know is that its a 1197 with mild cams stock head. other than that im not sure?? it was built when i got it. its got the 29mm with 127.5 main jets now

if its got 29s already id stick with them,perfect carb for a streetbike up to that size of motor.

What'd I tell ya! :laugh:

my friend had a 1260, and the 33's were way better they did not have the gulp of air like they do on a 1075 and they made a diffence on his quaTER MILE TIME over the 29's and streetability was still good. 33vm can be had way cheap compared to the 29's sell the 29's on ebay and get some vm 33's for half the price or get some cr specials new for not much more, i sold my 29's for 632 a few weeks back.

I know this is "apples & oranges", But, I figure at 1197, You should be able to swing 36mm CV "slingshot's" (ala GSXR 750-1100/GSF1200 ) Schnits (sp) racing sells intake man's to fit. easier to tune & Much more "tractible" than 33 smoothbores. they're easily aveil. & fairly cheap, they're amenable to "head work/flowing" (strongly recommended). the biggest drawback is filters will cost almost as much as a rack of carbs. (I went from 33 smoothies on a GS1164 (flowed &cammed) picked up @ 5hp & is "seamless" 2 cents G

hes running stock head small cams,street bike.
both my 1170s have 29s on them,my 1327 has a set of 33s.
im here to tell you i run out of pacemaker and chassis long before any of them run out of carb! :laugh:

9.47 on a stroked 750 honda with 29mm carbs around 1980-81 ,anymore questions? :laugh:
