Z1 900

Those carbs have the later smoothbore bowls on them. I have three sets of 29s. The early sets have a more rounded protrusion on the bowl, the later set is more squared off at that point, like in his pics. I don't see anything on his carb bowls that looks like a pump flange :S Whatchall smokin'?
The very early smoothbores don't have the 17mm hex nut drain plugs, but have drain screws instead.
Until he pulls his pods off and gets a pic from the inlet side of the carb bodies, we won't know if he has smoothbores. :laugh:

I will get a couple more pics when I get home. The bike will not be a restoration project, I wanna get it running and ride chit out of it!

Prolly just paint it flat black with some clear.. Not gonna be a beauty queen.

few more..

Yep, definitely VM29 smoothbores.

You can tell looking into the inlet(rear, filter side,etc.) side of the carb.
Go here and study this page. Then find a few articles on smoothbores to learn more.
