I've got no idea if the kit is correct, you should call Dyno-Jet for a expert opinion for your application.

Ok so I want to install a Dyno Jet kit in my 82 kz1100 A2 shaft bike.I plan on running the big K-N pods and what looks to be a Kerker pipe with a 2" baffle.The carbs are stock Mikuni's.Has anybody done this,and what kit number did you use?The closest I can figure with the DJ kit fitment guide is for the KZ1100 LTD/Spectre.A CSR 1000 kit has the same parts,but with the addition of Main Jet air corrector plugs (kit #2301).Do you think the LTD/Spectre kit will work?Thanks.
I frequent many other air cooled motorcycle forums, and the #1 "mod" that everybody wants to do is add pods. You are quickly going to realize that pods DO NOT WORK with Mikuni CV type carbs ! It's almost impossible to correctly jet the midrange carb circut with the addition of pods unless you have a dyno in you're garage, and you have a ton of time to invest in jet changes. Trust me on this one, put your stock airbox back on, and if you want the Kerker, just bump the pilots richer one size, and shim the stock OEM kawasaki needles. Your bike should run awesome.
From my experiences those pre-determined "dynojet kits" are a complete waste of time and money on a street driven bike !

I have to disagree, I have never dealt with tuning any carbs and despite being told not to pod my CV carbs I did. After the original DJ kit install it took me 2 subsequent re-jets to get things right. If I knew what I was doing it would likely have been only 1 more. Maybe manual slide carbs are better suited for a DJ kit, but the BS34 pod paranoia is overblown a little I think.
The only thing I can say that is not as nice with pods (and for all I know it could be this way with regular carbs too) is that the bike is more sensitive to weather conditions. I have my bike setup to run like a deere in the cooler weather (which is the majority of my riding season) but in hotter days it is a tad rich. Before the kit I never thought about it...

Around the perimeter of the carb are air passageways to feed the pilot circuit and raise the slide.
The Emgo (and some other brand filters) have a lip on the inside of the rubber boot that goes over the carb. This lip partially covers the passageways. VERY careful trimming with a razor knife to remove a VERY small amount of rubber will often solve this issue. You have to be careful to not cut through the rubber.
The K&N filters do NOT have this problem.

Where I live the wind blows every day, the later in the day the harder it blows until sundown. Pods would not be real good on a CV carb around here, big altitude changes and temp changes. I like having little carb maintenance once set up.
Great bikes, short shift it all day, then when the road opens just haul #ss!
