gs1000g carb kits

Which carb kits would you recomend for my GS1000G 1980 Which are the best. Im' in the UK

[unfocused]

I just use what's available and only use what I need. I also order extra bowl gaskets just in case... Trust me when I say people really like to over-tighten float bowl screws... calm down people, it's not life threatning when they're not torqued to 90 ft. lbs...
Ebay shows several sets available with floats included. However this is for the CV carbs.
As for which is the best... none stand out from the other. and they most likely originate from the same source...

In most cases, rebuilding a set of carbs should focus on "cleaning" and replacing soft parts like O-rings and gaskets. There is no reason to replace the original brass parts like jets and such unless they are damaged. A clean original Mikuni jet, or similar brass part, trumps a new aftermarket part.

Regarding carb kits, the only ones I'd recommend are Keyster brand. I buy them from siriusconinc in Canada, but I only use the gaskets and float valve. To supplement the rebuild, a full O-ring kit is needed, which I source in bulk, and sell to members here.

Please check the carb rebuild tutorial linked in my signature for details on how to properly clean a set of BS/CV carbs. There is also a detailed list of O-ring sized provided, in case you want to source them yourself locally in the UK.
