78 KZ1000 RS34 too much?

Odd story, but I have ended up with a brand new set of RS34s. I have also ended up with a pretty nice KZ1000LTD. It needs carb work. Should i put the RS34s on? Just street use.
Thanks in advance!!

Based on what? I have them in a gpz1100 and have yet to find an issue? 34's are stock on kz1000r as well. Anything larger I would agree

34's should work good on a stock motor, AND they will work very well on a modified motor also. Good carbs to have.
I believe its called "Oppositional Defiance Disorder"

I originally bought the RS34s for my GPz1100, but this 78 KZ1000 came along and needs carb work or carbs. So I am putting them on the 78 KZ1000. The GPz needs quit a bit more work.

Believe my I know the feeling..I just now got my 81 GPZ1100 back on the road. I did the full carb conversion and wheel upgrade.

Based on I know of a really hard running 1385 kawasaki running around omaha that runs insanely well with a set of 36rs
Carbs on it.
My old 1327 ran plenty hard with 33s on it,28s-29s are plenty of carb for even a hot rodded 1015-1075 on the street.
