Cycle exchange two carb conversion?

IronRN
Hi there I'm new to the forum and have a question for the experienced wrenches/builders. From my lurking you seem like a very helpful bunch! The Y intake manifold and 34mm carb kits for the cb750 look really neat, has anyone used them? Is frame modification required? Make life easier over the four carb system? I came across them on the build done at "anatomyofacaferacer". I'm currently hunting for a project bike and have found one without carbs hence my query.
Thx guys

I know very little about the particulars of these setups,but have read quite a few times of people complaining of trouble getting all four cylinders to run an even fuel mixture.Each carb is paired to two cylinders on a common "Y",each leg of the "Y" being a different length can make for unequal flow to each.Just my two cents.BUT,i will say that if it  is something you want to do,GO FOR IT

They work really well, but will not fit into a stock frame.

Thx guys. I'll just stick to a stock four carb setup then, frame mods are a bit over my head at this point.
Thx for the response!
