Picking up a new project 1979 KZ650

I have a left hand side Denco on my 650 and am always interested in other left hand side systems.  One can not tell for pics just what dia of primaries are used. Buit will say the primaries are longer on this pipe than they are on mine. Not sure that makes any real difference but just something I noticed.

Adding an accelerator pump isn't viable, because the carb bodies are machined for the pump nozzles.  Those pumper carbs aren't exactly the most reliable either.

BTW, maybe my memory is failing, but is your petcock on prime?
 

No its on the ON position, its currently stuck and needs cleaning...like everything on the fuel system.

I'm intrigued with the fuel tap/petcock on the rhs. No original standardd 650 tank had it fitted on the rhs that I know of? 
Regarding carbs, I can see airscrews but not if they have fuel screws also? If they airscrew only stick with them as they are best  650 carbs for performance and easiest to dial in. 
Also, any idea what the rear shocks are off? They look like Marzocchi but with khi stickers.

petcock is on the left side...your probably confused by the non standard left side 4into1 pipe.

I replaced the shocks with these off a Zephyr 750 I had laying around.  Original shocks were toast.

yes those are air airscrews on the carbs.

That thing already looks like the finished product of a frame off project. Good get.
How many miles?
 

Thanks...it has a lot of little things that need fixing but nothing major yet.   Clock says 52k on it.

Yeah I got a smoking deal for sure.

I haven't found any markings on it yet, but it seems to be a decent job on the construction.
