Sorry about the figure of speech, Dan. Just meant I didn't care either way. I think both are doable and the single carb probably does provide less work after its tweaked in. Mine are the 77 carbs and the early Keihins were probably the most complicated, two circuits, but three jets and the idle passages are ridiculously hidden. Can't blame the EPA on that design. In my experience, messing with the jets, air or fuel jets, always left me with flat spots. I am of the opinion that they work rather well stock, but for different engines or engine modifications just changing the slides' vacuum is the easiest way to go. . The mixture then stays true to original settings. The slide just has to have the right vacuum.
I haven't done it, but I'll bet the 1000 carbs on an 1100 would work well too by backing the slides vacuum down for the extra 100 cc's. 1100's cost so much to rebuild.
