Xs650 Intake Measurement

[ericluchini]

Hey guys, how`re you doing?
First time posting here, I'm from Brazil and I ride a 1974 chopper xs650. Learn a lot from here! Thanks a lot! I've searched a lot and read a lot of post on the same subject but i couldn't find that answer.

I`m really tired of the two carbs setup, so i decided to go with a 2x1 conversion, like Joe wiseguy one. its awesome! But honestly Brazilian taxes and shipping makes it really impossible to buy, so I have no other option than make my own. I really would like to cut the flange before disassembly the bike, so I got all the measurement of it but I want to make in just one piece, so i need to know the distance between the upper and lower bolts on it.

Does anyone has a head without carbs to measure it for me?
Also, can anyone confirm the measures I have on the 2o photo?

My english is not that good, so I attached a file just to make things more clear.

Thanks a lot guys!
Eric

Hey Jim! Thanks a lot for your reply!
The distances i need is between 2 upper bolts and between lower bolts. Horizontally, like the first picture i attached. can you help me with this?
