K3 Carb issue

(1/3) > >>

z1100r:
 I just noticed something that I codged up years ago when I fitted the K3 carbs. I cant remember why I couldn't do it properly at the time. Can you see my airbox rubbers - they are not long enough. They still fit pretty good - holding by just the trumpet flare on the end of the rubber.



 I'd like to do this properly now...are there longer rubbers..?? if so does anyone have any...?  are the manifolds the same...?

 There was something about 1 groove or 2 in the manifold but thats about as much I can remember.

matthewmosse:
I think I know what the problem is, the rubbers look like 500 ones which are shorter than k3 ones. For the k3 carb + throttle linkages to fit and operate you need the k3 rubbers which would be / are longer. When I last actively looked they were NLA but I think someone said pattern ones might now be available.

Done this mod to my 550 k0 years ago & still works well. You have to change manifold, front + rear rubbers & a little mod to choke cable bracket to make it fit idiot light / handle bar clamps, Daz
