Proper jetting w/stock air box & V&H 4 in1 pipe?
16 Oct 2017 18:40
Greetings, I just picked up a stock 1977 KZ 1000 LTD with the factory Mikuni VM26SS carbs, stock 4 into 2 pipes and the stock air intake box under the seat. I would like to put on a V & H 4 into 1 pipe while keeping the stock air box intact. I have been reading on here that changing to the individual carb air pods are a pain in da butt, yada yada.... I'm not out for maximum performance, I just want to hear that beautiful pipe singing down the road with me. Would anyone have a similar set up like I mentioned and have the best recommended jets for this?
Thanks very much!
Thanks very much!
Just acquired a 1977 KZ 1000 LTD after riding Harleys for 30 years. I remembered these bikes back in high school with the Kerker pipe and figured what the heck? A very fun bike!

Will you be running with a baffled pipe or open if baffled it may need to have the jets go up a size or two, i have B2 with stock carbs and air box also a one off stainless exhaust with a norman hyde harris road baffle not the quietest, and my jetting is mains 107.5 pilots 20 needle 5cn7 on groove 3 pilot screws 1+1/4 turns out,, it runs seemlessly right up through the rev range, as you can see it looks a little different to a standard ltd.
