Vm33 smoothbores so push pull,apparently these were fitted to the bike from new with a yoshi exhaust and oil cooler.....there seems to be more bare wire at the carb end to wrap around the carb linkage than a standard cable (albeit a gsx1100et cable but they had similar cv carbs so guessing very simi...

Very true,just thought I throw it into the mix Ok I’m gonna say it’s an sz then,I’ll try and put an add together t...

I’ve just notice it doesn’t mention “overseas” on the special notes 2DCD9C9B-DA39-42B6-B5E3-CF4780175E02.jpeg That'll explain the kp/h clocks then and the 1989 registration.
