86 VF500F Carb Question

I've got an 86 but for the last few years its had carbs on it from an 85. The 85 carbs have one inlet for a fuel line (on the left side of the bike). I now have a set of 86 carbs, and it looks like they've got 2 inlets for fuel lines (one on the right side, and one in the middle). Can anyone with a set of 86 carbs let me know if this is right?

I'd have to look again to be sure where the 2 lines enter the carbs, but yes, the main line comes from the petcock and splits into 2 lines to go into the carbs.
