As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

If you have VM carbs, these fuel screws are worth a look.

I picked up a set of these for my bike when I had to order some other bits. They seem to be quality castings and better than the crappy K&L jets that come in those rebuild kits. I am not familiar with Keyster's reputation on that front.

Absent problems with casting and materials, however, I like these screws MUCH more than the OEM parts. Check this picture:

Notice the top? It extends about 1/4" further from the o-ring than the OEM screw. The top of the screw is slotted but also has a knurled cap, which is a little hard to see in the picture.

The net result is that the top of fuel screw ends up outside of the bowl channel, so you don't have to navigate the Death Star trench to turn it. The knurled top also allows you to turn it with your fingers. Thus, these screws are far easier to adjust while the carbs are on the bike.
 
Nice! I noticed that one on mine has had the tip broken off so I'll definetly be looking into these!
 
I just ordered a set of these and drain bowl screws last night!! Thanks for this write up... I was hoping they were as sturdy as stock.
 
Mine just came in Monday

They're waiting for my brake rebuild to be completed
