now i feel stupid, i am replacing my factory cd carbs w/ some mikuni vm's. how do i connect them to open off the same throttle cable? the factory ones have a neat little bracket setup and its all connected to a flapper or something. anyway its an xs400 they'll be side by side, is there like a cable T or something, how have you all done it?
connecting two mikunis

three ways....... you can rack or garrison them
difficult without machine shop skills
or you can use a single cable throttle running to a two into one junction box or cable splitter
the best ones aren't great in my opinion
or........ and this is what I do on non-racked twin carbs
run a twin cable twist throttle and two fully adjustable cables
don't listen to any nincompoop that tries to tell you how impossibly difficult it will be to sync the carbs and keep them that way

there are similar cable sets like that which have sufficient free travel and will still allow the VM series to have their slides opened all the way
that plastic junction is one of the worst to be had
anyhow, I am not sure but I think the smaller RD carbs require less free length and have less slide travel
