No, those are from the 1100, just using for a "workbench"

Re: dual idf convetsion, why not dual cables?
Hey, Wolfie666, how about some final shots of your linkage, manifold and carbs setup?? I don't recall seeing it in a build thread, just a few posts here and there.
Looks like a good setup.

Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: dual idf convetsion, why not dual cables?
Never made a build thread, because been working on it for two years, and it's still not where I want it to be...
The only part hidden under the "tank" is the single to dual throttle housing.

Re: dual idf convetsion, why not dual cables?
Thanks,Wolfie666, you went with a splitter. I am thinking of using a setup like the Kharman Ghia referenced earlier. However, I'm wondering about the slight differences in cable stretch from heat. In the Ghia setup, one carburettor returns to the stop, the other is sync'd to it. I guess after syncing you could re-set the throttle stop of the other.

Re: dual idf convetsion, why not dual cables?
Anything more on this topic? I came across a "Universal Split Dual Throttle Motorcycle Cable Kit" on a certain well known online shop. That would certainly make a dual weber conversion much easier?

Re: dual idf convetsion, why not dual cables?
I am running a splitter cable from a 69 CB350. Threads into the factory control, cable is perfect length. For the carb cams I took off the stock cam from the old carb mani and cut it in half and welded it to the IDF linkage. Built a cable holder for each side and it works like a charm! Plus much less going on! Much cleaner look. Sorry about the sideways pics, can't figure out how to straighten them!
