Is it possible?  I know the diameters are different for the airbox, I was just wondering if you guys had ever done this.

You would have to swap the head.  It is easier to swap in 750 carbs.  Soos is the man when it comes to fitting carbs, do a search for 650 carbs and you will find a lot of info.  I have a pretty decent set of 650 carbs that will fit your bike if you are interested.

Yeah, Soos has a writeup somewhere that shows the sizing of a bunch of carbs, offsets needed...  Do you not have original carbs for this bike or are you just looking to do something different?
