1976 KZ750B Twin carb replacement options?

So, I have a '76 KZ750B Twin that I want to replace the original Mikuni CV carbs with a better option. Would like to stay with Mikuni if practical. Already have a Mac 2 into 1 exhaust and intend to use pod filters and just purchased a C5 ignition. Looking for recommendations for replacement carbs that would work well.
Thanks

I think you would be better off just fixing the carbs you have.

+1 The BS-38's they come with work REALLY well and are very low maintenance once set up right. I have been happy with mine for about 36 years.... :laugh:

Well, if that's the case, where do I find different size jets and new diaphragms? So, I have read that CV carbs don't like pod filters. Is that BS?
