Installing a set of Mikuni carbs 120-130

I have no experience with the Mikunis.. but...

that front carb float cover on the SUs is basically just a T fitting... not two inlets. One in, one out to the second carb. I'd think a T fitting should be fine.

Carburettors run off the floats, so as long as enough fuel gets to the floats, it should be fine. I expect the mechanical pump should do.

Keep in mind.. you'll get 20mpg... so as long as your fuel pump can deliver a gallon of gas every 20 miles, it's all you need.

I'm running a stock mechanical pump with my Weber DCOE's, and haven't run out of gas yet (even with no gauge and getting about 8mpg :-) )
