1983 Suzuki GS550 ESD CV Carbs

High On Octane

Ton Up or Shut Up
I was curious if the CV carbs that came on the 83 GS550 Suzuki are Mikuni carbs or another brand? Also, what size are they? I ask because I'm sick of my POS Amal carb on my '58 Enfield 700cc and was thinking thinking of rebuilding 1 of the carbs off of the Suzuki and swapping them out. I ask because the Suzuki is about 30 minutes away at my friend's house and he is on vacation right now so I can't go look at it. What parts are needed to rebuild these carbs? Would it be worth trying to swap? Any other issues with mounting I might run into? I feel like the CV carb would work well here in Denver as I'm constantly changing altitude every time I ride in the Rockies. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)
 
Is that the one with Hitachi twin chokes or the Mikuni Solex?
They are very similar to the KZ1300 carbs

I have no idea what is on there and I can't find anything with the traditional searches. I just know that it is a pair of CV dual bore carbs.
