Question branch intake

a while ago i made the switch to a cv from a 1200 xl around a 97 or so,i have been running the rubber flange type adaptor i just picked up a branch intake but it is alot larger than the carb, do they make a intake seal for this? if so any idea on part numbers?or did i get the wrong intake? thanks

got it all together today, went to a old school shop they sold me a mikuni 44 to 40 mm adaptor that worked out great, put new bands on and now she runs super! ever since i put the cv on i have been very disapointed, the old butterfly carb started easier, ran stronger but now WOW i had to have some vacume leaks this thing is great! was just about to give up on the cv! all is good again!
