I've put the square VHB 29's on mine and they run
fine...SS1's were rumored to leak, leading to BBQ'ed
V700s'...

Hi Rob, The VHBs are basically a bolt on deal, but you may need to use the manifolds/elbows from an Ambo or Eldo. I think there are subtle differences (angle?length?diameter?) between the SS1s and VHB manifolds. If you're running the stock airbox you'll need the rubber boot for the VHBs also. You should probably retain the "intake reducer bushings" (metal tube that fits into the intake ports) for it to run properly. I don't know of anyone that runs VHBs on a V700 (but then I only know of one V700 owner who rides theirs much), but it should be fine with the same jetting as an Ambassador. According to my manuals the V700s and early Ambos with SS1s both use the same jetting. My early Ambo (for all practical purposes a V700 with 54cc more) uses the same jetting as the later Ambos and works just fine. I'd use that as a starting point, then if it runs a bit rich make the necessary changes. Might get the old girl running with SS1s on as a baseline, then if you don't like them switch over.
