keihin CV carbs

Hey folks:

I've got an old rack of Keihin CV carbs that I don't know what bike they came from. Someone told me that Kawasaki used these in the early 80's...does anyone know that to be true.

Anybody need a set?

They are on all of my bikes. I run them with the stock airbox. The KZ750E has stock exhaust, and the KZ750H has a 4 into 1. I have never had a problem with them, and in fact have never had the "cold blooded" issue that many of the KZs with other carbs seem to have.
Petaluma and Truckee, CA -- member since Jan. 23, 2003;
PREVIOUS KZs: 1980 KZ750H with 108,000 miles; 1980 KZ750E with 28,000 miles; and KZ750H street/cafe project, all sold a few years back.

This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.

You will find Keihin CV 34s on all the kz750 (four cylinder) E models...and I think the H models also ........1980 to maybe 83.
1980 kz750E1, Delkevic exhaust
