Hi Steve from the UK and welcome to HDF. It may be possible to fit the carb, however I advise against it, as the 2000 c/v carb is widely available and more suitable. The '86 carb is quite different and was only used for two years, so parts and expertise may be a problem. By contrast the stock exhaust is actually the same for both bikes!

Hi thanks for that will stick with the pipes. Will miss the carb it looked cool got a nice stack on it. Been thinking we have a hell of a lot of rain in this part of the UK. So a stack may not be good on my every day ride. Cheers again Steve
