Thats why I use the Mikuni carbs that came on the KZ 900/1000 Kaws ..

No linkage to worry about ... better looking carbs and a bit more performance ..

You can usually get the carbs for like $100 and I sell the adaptors for $140..

I've never had the best luck ith the 77/78 carbs and the choke cable is a problem to be dealt with..
