Rickwilson Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) I was a member on the site many years ago, i currently have a few bikes, here's a couple of my air cooled ones. Has anyone ever fitted a mk2 set of bandit 1200 carbs to one of these engines. I wanted a set of mk 1 carbs but wasted my cash and bought the wrong ones, will they fit ?

TonyGee Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 the carb spacing is different on mk2's compared to mk1's . you might have problems lining them up ? but not sure if you can find rubbers to match. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think the stub size is different as well, i was told they were mk1 but alas not, i think i might cut my losses and sell them on. Thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment

( just based on the smoothbore carbs) Yes it is a uk1000 with the vm32ss carbs Ive owned it for a number of years but did a full rebuild on it during the lockdown, i put a gs1000 top yoke on it to fit raised bars, I'm not as young as i was when i got it, its a great bike 1 Quote Link to comment
