As I've only got an unmounted kit I can't work out if there's a right and a wrong way to fit the rubber. It looks right with the carb flat, as pictured, but may be ok with it turned around so that it gives more clearance. Most carbs end up fitted at an angle so it may not be an issue.
What about frame clearance? It may be an issue.

if you rotated the carb manifold rubber 180 degrees doe's that lift it away from the cowling it's just that looking at the third photo the carb doe's look to be angled downward?? Or is it just the carbon cowling? anyways best of luck with the motor it will be good to hear some more road ridden reports.
