With peanut tank you can tilt carb little... about supports it's better to have 2 supports than only one, some of those adapters are bad quality and they don't last very long... after 1 year started to leak.

Sepixlh,
Thats the exact problem i am looking at. I cut off the back throttle cable tub for the return and my tank is mounted highr than yours...so with a 90 i think i can mount it staight. What cable are you yrunning on yours? The shortest cable I have seen is like 32" and would to long my other carb the bendix just had a hole w/ set screw the CV of course needs some sort of end... any advice ?

If you change whole throttle assembly to newer witch has place of 2 cables (throttle&idle) like original 1976-80. Then use evo sporty 883 (up to 95) cables they are 29" to 33" lenght they should fit directly with out any "tricks"

not sure what year my cables came from but i had to trim my metal tube, and plastic back. my bike had the bendix on it, but it had a wheel on the throtle blade that this used to fit right into..i thin someone retro-fitted some stuff at some point..
As for mounting brackets, i used the ORIGIANL A/C bracket. i just heated it and took a few bends out of it to straiten some sections, then cut it and made it work. I eneded up buying one of those "breather/spacers" for the newer style evo A/C's. i then drilled and tapped the holes for proper bolt size and mounted my bracketry via those holes and the brackets on the head. (note: The pictures show old crappy bolts, the finished product uses Stainless bolts, washers and tubing) tubing is spacers for proper clearance.
I also had an issue with the petcock being in my way, i ended up angling the petcock, and it JUST clears, within about 5mm's or so to spare. lol As for rigidity, its very rigid setup. i can wiggle the WHOLE bike via the carb, so i aint to concrned about it falling off. I do have a post on here tha ti need to update, and i appologize for not doing so yet..new job has me workin 12/hrs a day so spare time is getting limited.
Here's a top view of the carb while its on the bike..it sticks WAY out, looks badass, but resulted in me having to purchase foot peg extensions. Oh well, looks good and runs great! Muhaha!

Basicly operation is same with Mikuni's, adapter may make carb to stick too out...
I used billet aluminium press fit adapter which is "shorter" and mikuni is little bit shorter than CV carb.
With this adapter carb will not stick out so much and if you modify airbox backplate result is even better.
I used stock bracket in front and fabricated other witch is mounted into that bolt witch is seen top of rear cylinder rocketbox in middle.
