ksrebel, I've looked into this very subject extensively and you're right, there is little info about. There was a post about the Suzuki and I looked into that as well. They COULD work, but you could still have to modify the boots to fit. There was no definite answer that I could find here, or any other forum.
the first response to your question was simply an effort to gather more information. If you would like our help, please leave any attitude at the door. There's no need to bash on the bike or other members. Many of us on this forum have had great luck with these bikes and all the original parts, including the carbs.
Now, you want to run uni pods and shorty's. It's not a matter of original carbs vs cb carbs. If you're going to change the intake and exhaust air flow that much, you'll have to mess with the carbs anyway. Some carbs not as much as others, but in the end, you'll have to put in the time and effort to get it right. Research jetting these carbs and see if you missed anything before. If you did everything the same, then buy the cb carbs and see if you can get them to fit. That's the only SURE way you'll get your answer.
