No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationDuuude! Great eye! Those are much cheaper than new, even on ebay! They appear to be the same as the rc-2222s.
I called K&N as well, no luck with a concrete answer there. Thats OK, They gave me measurements which I had already gotten online. My carburetors are 3in +- center to center on the intake throat side, with 42mm flanges. The rc-2222s should fit quite well.

I am going to contact that ebay seller just to make sure that is the model #.

Will advise on what I hear back and what happens!

For anyone else interested, I also found a Henry Abe air cleaner on ebay...


Pretty cool item. Not sure if I would really dig the way it looks, but I love the old school aspect.

here is a better pic .. I got them for 65 bucks off ebay. have no complaints just got to rejet and all should be good these things flow!

Awesome picture! I just bought a set on Ebay for $63. I was watching an auction for a set, but it still has 4 days left, and I imagine it will probably get up to near that price anyway with $11 shipping. The sooner I get these, the better. I'm planning on riding to the Smoke Out motorcycle rally/party in 2 weeks, It'll be a 1500 mile round trip. Did it on my KZ a few years ago as well.

I have done a fair amount of research on rejetting - I have ordered a set of #120 mains. May play with the needle position too. Not decided about pilots yet.

Ready2Ryde, what did you end up doing as far as jetting goes?

I have tryed in past to get my 700 s jetting somewhere in the ball park but to no avial .. done some resurch and noticed there is an order ove operations and the first thing is one I won't tuch lol. Gona have a guy check my valves and make shure eveything there is doin its job then to rejet the carbs . For now I taped off the inside and reset my airscrews. Runs ok tends to blow lean so I'm not doin a lot of riding just enough to get it out of my. System lol

Update:

My carburetor rebuild is pretty much complete - dipped, cleaned, etc. with all new O-rings, gaskets, and rubber choke plunger caps.

As of now I have installed #120 main jets. The pilots are stock (#17.5) and the needles are on the 3rd clip. I have debated on moving them up to the 4th.

The k&n filters, item rc-2222, have arrived. They seem to fit onto the carb bank like they were made for them! Only have one on carbs 1&2 as of now, carbs are still off of bike.

Will include photos in a few days with another update.

Jenkrider,

where are you buying your carb parts?

Look for wompy5000 on KZ650info site.

He makes a nice custom set that uses that element
that have built in velocity stack's.

I bought my O-rings from CycleOrings.com. I have used a set from him before on a set of CV carbs for a GS650. Nice sets with everything you need, and they are well organized and labeled.

I got all the other stuff from Z1 Enterprises. I pretty much get everything from there.

As a side note, I just rode 1,700 miles in the last 5 days on my 900 with these air filters installed. Went from New Orleans to Rockingham, NC and back. The filters held up well. The bike ran well - I think I am definitely going to go up a notch on the needles and give that a shot. I would rather run on the rich side of things than the lean - I'm at sea level and it is pretty hot down here. The position of my legs on the highway has a pretty direct impact on how the bike runs - if I keep them tight in the bike runs well, if I bring them out it forces too much air sideways into the filters and the bike leans out and loses alot of power. The engine is also much louder - I can hear the valves and the roar of the engine more. I love the suction sound when I juice it.

Will post some pics soon.

You need to go down a notch on the needle with the clip to richen, not up. You may want to try the little washers that allow you to go half a clip setting if you are that close.
Good luck! David

David, you're totally right...I was thinking one thing and typing another! haha

I have a website for the jet needle shims if you want it.

I was jetted for pods and a 4 into 1 and was runnin on the lean side.. went up a size on the pilots and gona go up on the mains one size also.. The bike runs great with the filters no cross wind messes with the low end just the top thats why im goin up on the mains bout 5 k and up it seems lean..


To get it to work so i could ride fathers day with out being rejeted I wraped two dew rags around them worked like a charm
