I've ridden behind a 79F with ZRX carbs and I'll tell you that bike was quick. We were riding mountain roads and sweepers. I remember Chris (Yamahansolo) was having some difficulty tuning them though. Good mod for some extra power.2H7 (79) owned since '89

A KZ1000 sits next to the XS in my garage. The carb spacing is drastically different and unless you modified the spacing, I would be shocked if this is true. The KZ had straight intake boots which made for a large space between the center pair of carbs to compensate for the cam chain area. The old VM and BS equipped Suki's had the same spacing as the KZ.'81 XS1100 SH

I just had a look at a KZ1000 Police. The carburetors were Mikunis that look like what's on the Yamaha. I suppose you could use them if you used the XS space bar and linkages. This of coarse, after the supply of XS1100 carbs completely dries up.Marty (in Mississippi)
