Hello I had great success with ZX6R carbs.

^^ ZX9R and R1 carb's are the most popular for the 2.0 Pinto and will give about the same as twin webber 45's
(there are a few other bikes with similar size carb's too, ~40mm chokes)
these are well suited to engines with a little work done to the heads and/or cam

the smaller carbs from the ZX6R, R6 etc are better suited to stock engines or ones with very minor mods...

Blackbird carbs are a popular alternative as theyre not demanding the money R1 carbs do
Different year bikes use different size carbs so make sure theyre the size you want
If your going mapped ignition try and get one with a tps fitted
use a bike fuel pump too
Cheap enough to buy and you know that any problems you may have are not down to flow or pressure
