Sorry I cant answer your question but on a related note - Which models of the ZX7 came fitted with Flatsides?

[theseadoomaster]

from what i know the 91-94 had flatslides.and nobody really likes to work on them-from what ive read.

I'll trade you a set of 38mm cv carbs off a 1992 ZX7 for your flatslides.

i want flatsides too, i hear theyre a bitch and a half to tune but when theyre good theyre golden for bottom end grunt

na,i want to keep them incase i sell the bike, i want to have all stock parts to go with it.i want to try a set of cv's to see the difference though.

I've got 41mm Flats on my bike, and I can honestly say that just for ease of getting parts, Id much rather have the CVs... The zx7rr is hell to get carb rebuild kits for, really, Kawi dealers just can't get the damn things...Sudco seems to be the way to go for these things, but they're not cheap by any means and the rebuild kit is basic as it gets.

I'm going through the carbs right now..

I'll have my bike on the road with in the next two weeks though, so who knows I may love them then...

You'll love them.If they're set up right.Otherwise they can be a nightmare.
Carb Parts Warehouse is another place to get the parts.

Good luck with the rebuild.If you have any questions,ask.I'll answer them if I can.

as long as the center of each carb is the same (spacing) as the stock carbs and they are the same spigot size then go for it... but as said have fun tuning... might get lucky and they will work fine as are....
