Just a little info to pass on. The single hole stock looking front airbox plate is available from Norvil part# 06976755. The question then becomes will the stock rubber air tubes fit whatever type of carb that you are trying to mount?
The one-into-two manifolds are available from Sudco, SM23 for 32-34mm carbs part# 005-037 or SM-23A for 36-38mm carbs part# 005-038 price each is $150usd. The bolt on rubber flange mounts 32-34mm or 36-38mm sell for $23usd each.
The whole Mikuni kit typically with VM series carb can be had for a little over $300usd which of course includes manifold, gaskets,rubber flange, carb, cables, and airfilter. For slightly more (approx. $50usd) the supplier can substitue the TM series carb.
If you already have the VM set up TM carbs can be had used or new off Ebay some what cheaply, jets and needles are cheap, needle jets are $15usd each.
One more note, if you pick up a used manifold check to see if it is made to mount a single Amal carb (IE bolt spread center to center = 50.8mm) as this will make it very difficult to install a flange for a Mikuni carb (ask me how I know).
