29mm smoothbore mikuni's they are the best small carb ever made and i'm not really biased. they will bolt right up to the stock manifolds and use the stock throttle cables.

true 29 smoothbores are as good a carb as you will findB) but if the bike is stock a good set of 26mm or 28mm will save you a lot of $$$$$.the 29s are going for anywere from $400 to $600 on ebay:woohoo: you can get a good set of 26s for $100 to $150.:) just stay away from the exelorator pump carbs they are a true pain in the ass!:S

they were an aftermarket performace carb they put on roadrace bikes and dragbikes but they are an excellent street carb as well keep your eyes peeled on dragbike.com and e-bay.

Yeah thats the carbs I have on my bike now (with the excelorator pump) And I have about $400 in them so far and they are still crap! I bought a dyna stage 3 jet kit and had it installed and have tinkered with them all year but it just keeps getting worse. The sad thing is I can't find anyone to pay to work on them!

No one mentioned the Mikuni flatslide RS series?

Any opinions around here on those? Of course, I'm talking for a bored engine... and yes they are $$$$.

79KZST is your bike completely stock? Want to put a 1075 kit in it with the carbs?

And wired george has a ST. He is really good. He can remove the pump set up on your carbs. Roy
