Hey Tom,

The Carb. Set from a MKI 1984 VR will physically fit on the MKII 1986 VR, BUT the inside Size of the Carb. Bodies is smaller on the 84'VR MKI VR set. The bike should run, (if there is no blockage inside the MKI Carb. Set) but you will loose some acceleration and top end because the Carbs. are too small for the 1300 motor. If you are having issues with the Carb. Set on your 86'VR, this would be a way to make sure it is truly a Carb. Issue. You could also install this Carb. Set while you repair/rebuild the MKII Carb. set.

If you ride solo, don't go much over 80MPH, and don't pull a trailer, you may not even notice the difference. On the other hand, If you are a BIG fan of the second gear wind up on an interstate onramp, ride two up a lot, or pull a trailer, this Carb. set may be a bit of a disappointment in the power dept. I wouldn't waste a moment thinking about installing the MKI Carb. Set if it meant the difference between riding my scoot, and having it sit in my garage, unridable.

Just my thoughts,

Earl

Hope you are right Earl,

I have ran my 1300 motor with a set of MKI carbs all summer. Larger main jets in and an air jet change.

Hoping the MKII set makes a difference.

I take it you do not have the carb slider I PM'd you about?
