I have the exact same carbs set up by Yoshimura, if you look close they are stamped CR900, they are actually racked to suit the GS1000 and Z900 Kawasaki's they need different intake rubbers to suit the 750 Honda....Doesn't even look like he has the intake rubbers, i have the rubbers with my set..If he gets 2,800 i will do cart wheels..... :o

Unless you are racing in some weird class why would you use them?

 Not sure if these are the original version, without idles, but would you not need those for a somewhat correct CR ?

The set that went for 3K were the original sandcast model CR31's , these are completely different and not as sought after and spaced for the Big Suzuki's and Kawasaki's of the 70's, without the special manifolds you can't use them on a 750 Honda.......

I thought all CR's had CR cast in the side of the slide tower, you know, the bit that is painted red? I don't see that here.

Thats the ones i am talking about..... ;) They were the very early CR's....

The "new" CRs do

Thats right, the old ones don't have the raised CR on them, Mine have Aluminum Yoshimura decals on them, no CR......
