I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

If you are trying to find a set of smoothbores look for the brass bead showing in the rectangle on the carb as shown in the red circle below. Ed

I REALLY don't get this fascination with people and 29s, they are expensive, work a little better offer an extra millimeter of venturi size, and are expensive OLD tech, if you insist on paying $700+ on a set of carbs, get something modern, adapt a set off a gsxr, or a newer ninja, buy actual NEW carbs or just do an EFI swap and forget tuning.
You have 3 basic setups for 29s, kz, suzuki gs, and honda cb750; z1enterprises had/has a page on identifying the differences.

I agree with you but I like running the air box. Is it possible to run the air box with newer carbs?
