Affordable Carb options, KZ1000.

I wanted to get some opinions from the experts about what you all thought the best bang for the buck was for KZ1000 carbs. i have been bidding on 29mm smoothbores but i keep losing. i have stock 26mm ones right now but they need rebuilt and i would rather put the money towards something a little more performance oriented to support some future engine mods, 3X cams, a little headwork, and a 1075 kit. i have bid on a couple sets of 28mm also, are these worth the money in terms of performance or should i just rebuild the 26's? thanks guys.

i
the best options are RS34's, vm33's or cr31's.
rs34 would be best, vm33's would be the cheepest, but still very good.
IMO.

people will tell u that bigger carbs will bog when u wack the throttle at low rpm's. if u open the throttle slower and the bog never happens.
if u want to get up and go u would have the revs up anyways. this is why all modern bikes have vacume operated carbs. they mask the problem so u open the throttle slower and the bog never happens.

newer style 79-80 28s with pumps on them work good,aftermarket carbs in the 29-31mm range are also good for low end/mid range.
most people run out of road or balls before they will run out of carb :woohoo:

I agree... balls for me! :laugh: Anything after 110mph and it gets a little squirly on curves lol.

wouldnt vm33s be a bit large? especially for now since the engine is stock?

u said .

"i would rather put the money towards something a little more performance oriented to support some future engine mods"

28's are fine for stock motors if u want more , buy bigger.

29's wouldbe great, but there day has come and gone. its to hard to find good ones let alone at a good price. put cr31's at the top of your list and take either carb i mensioned if u find a great deal.

Now but where can we find all these wonderful carbs...???
