Super nice looking bike!!

Clarification for me, I thought 80 and newer bikes have cv carbs?

It's a performance upgrade on that particular bike.

that may be the case for those that use them but i prefer the 29mm or 33mm smoothies they were a better performance gain for these bikes
and if you look closely you will notice that it has VM carbs on it with pods
most likely there stock as he didn't mention smoothbores in his note from the owner

I see now, it's a 1000 not an 1100 16 valve. Really didn't pay much attention to that. Just figured being a 1980 model it would have CVs.

ya looking more closely at the picture again it appears to be pieced together from a few years if it is a 1980 frame 78 or79 head and carbs 78 bodywork
at any rate it's defiantly a nice bike

Absolutely beautiful bike, as is yours.

regardless of the fact that i may have come from a few different years as you said
it is a beautiful bike indeed and a lot of time and love went into making it what it is today
so Brett Qualteari should be very proud of what he has accomplished with that 1000
the same as i am proud of what i accomplished with mine this past summer when i restored it
and thank you for the compliment on my bike
