Hi Jesse, don't forget, the Kerker don't have low clearence for a hotrod bike.
The carbs are worth $150 all day on ebay, I have new bowl gaskets to go with them.
And the dinged up Kerker is worth $50. It does not have any rot holes. Would look good ground down and painted. No baffle or bracket.

Once upon a long time ago in the early to mid '90s, I tried the Qwiksilver II carbs on various Harleys. I had 38, 40 and 42 to try on 1200 Sportster and 80-cube Evo.

I found that I could either get the idle and roll-on very nice but lose out in the top end or vice-versa. If they'd had pumpers, I reckon they'd have been good.

About five years later, Red Edmondson sold Qwiksilver II to Edlebrock. They made a few changes including fitting pumpers. They worked much better. At that time I was working for the Australian Edelbrock importer and was very close to ordering a set of four to try on a GSX1100 (GS1100 four-valver) but I changed jobs.

The pumps will not retro-fit, to the best of my knowledge.

Personally, I'd rather have a rack of Mikuni or Keihins at the other end of the throttle cables.

PS: Then again, for drag racing they'd be worth looking at.

I used to be playswithnitro but; it happens...
