Will a throttle twist from a 81 kz1000 ltd work with VM28mm ss carbs? Also can the controls be wired into a 77 kz1000 ltd wiring harness? Thanks for any and all information pertaining to this subject.

The K1 throttle will have a Pull only cable. The 28's would have had a Pull and Push set up. But you really only need the pull. The cable length and the attachment at the housing will be different, so you may need to make/ modify a cable. Or search for a cable for the adaption.
The switches on the housing might have different plugs, may have different wire colors, but the functions can be made to work. You may need to do some wiring but otherwise it shouldn't be a problem. You should look at your wiring diagram, then the K1 wiring diagram. Both will have a switch contact chart showing the contacts made to corresponding wires.
There is a wiring diagram for both in "FileBase" here on KZR, upper right corner of the page in the tool bar.
