Is it possible to change my stock keihin carbs out on my 1983 KZ750F for mikuni carbs? I know some models that year had mikunis. Thanks!

You may be able to find a rack of old BS series carbs that will work. Why do you want to change them?

I know people with earlier 750 like mine have used mikuni bs34s from GPZ 750s without any problems. Yours is the shaft drive right ? Cylinder/ carb spacing would be the same.as mine or the GPZ model.
Petcock placement might be the only possible problem i could think of and only if tank design is significantly different from E, H or GPZ models.

I'm pretty sure they were a direct bolt-on w matching VM carb holders (probably from a KZ650).
You almost have to go with pod filters. Or jerry-rig the stock airbox ducts to fit the VMs.

ZR750 (air-cooled models). The carbs from a 90s 750 Zephyr or ~2000-02 ZX-7/ZX-7S might fit.

as long as they are clean inside, balanced and no holes in diaphragms they work great

There is a post on Kz650.info by a 650Spirit about this conversion. You must buy new ZR750 carb holders, airboots and re-cut holes for them in the airbox.
I think it is easier to keep and restore your current set.
