XS500 Mikuni VM32/34 Upgrade

Hi all,

I'm upgrading the carbs on my 1975 XS500B and I have a couple questions:

1) Intake manifolds... can I run manifolds designed for the XS650? I know the stock manifold part numbers are different but I am hoping that this is only because tha carbs were different. Basically, I want to know if the upgraded manifolds designed for an XS650 will mount to my engine.

2) I am planning to buy the VM32, is this sufficient or do I need the VM34? The bike will be running pods and free flowing exhaust. It has upgraded coils and wires and NGK iridium plugs.

Thanks,

R
