1982 KZ1000 to Fighter..

those r the manifolds that we all use to fit larger carbs. i use them with RS34's.
u just blend the intakes to match them.
that will get u step 1 , then u wont need quite as big of a transition adapter.
u may want to go over to

sign up, and ask what they use. those guys use big lectron carbs all the time. maybe they have come up with something.

Good idea Mark, I will check that out.

They also have some for Lectrons that I am sure would fit, but I would need to adjust the bolt pattern. Don't really want to do that, but its an option.

i have seen an adaptor plate made for just that. he used about 3/16" alum plate just made a plate, similar to the 1 on the back of the manifolds, with a larger bolt hole tab. then he drilled 2 bolt holes on each end rather than 1. 1 hole was used to bolt the plate to the head. the manifold bolted to the extra hole.
does that make any sense ?

i got a thread started for u.

Mark.. you been a member since 06 and that was your first post!! I feel privileged. LOL

I signed up, so we will see what happens.

I think I have come up with a solution. I got the large APE Boots that support up to a 40mm carb, and the outside diameter is 53mm. The throttle bodies have an outside diameter of 56mm so I think that is as close as I am going to get for mounting purposes. Im going to use a rubber sleeve over the TB and boots to join the two together. I will then tapper the the boot out on the edges a bit to support the transition a bit better. I made two and mounted the TB's and the seem like they will work pretty well. The edge of the TB and the boot are tight together so it mounts pretty tight. Will see how it goes...

BTW, for documentation purpose and in case anyone needs to know down the road, I spaced these throttle bodies out by 6mm and they line up real close.

I only have one clamp on in this picture, I will need to add another around the TB itself.

You should frame those pics of your build and get an agent!
