Of course anything is possible, just wondering if anyone has tried it and how did it work out

Do you have a reason to want to?
Well everything is running fine... just thought about taking complexity out of the loop. Owning a soopermoto with no electric fuel pump, injectors, etc seems all that more reliable. Guess Iam just old school for bikes.

ducvet carbureted an 800, not sure if it was a Monster or an SS.

Not sure what all was involved, as far as manifolds and airbox, ignition, etc.

IIRC he used 39mm FCR's.

Either the short manifolds for the FCR's could work if you wanted to run the flat-slides, or you would need to get some 750 carburated manifolds for the conversion if you wanted the longer manifold.  The stock 750 manifolds will allow the use of the stock carbs as well as the FCR's.

I bolded your answer for you.

It's not broken-don't fix it.

The guy I helped make them work on the 1000 used the standard efi manifolds. :)
