    Float needle and seat question.

    I am working on a 1980 GS 750E project that was a mess. I want to get new needle and seats but to get OEM mikuni parts it be over 200 bucks for set of 4. Any recommendations for after market brands that will work well. Another question is the color of some early GS's 79 -81 that look silver or silver gray. I have not seen one in person, but the color actually a silver or is it grey? Hard to tell from pictures. Thanks Al

    You can get original Mikuni needle and seat pair at Niche Cycle for around $25 each. Doesn't include oring and filter cap.

      I've bought these a few times with good results. Keyster is second best, behind OEM/Mikuni.

      Use the float valves and gaskets. The rest goes into the spares box...

        "Silver", never remember any GS that even leaned toward grey. Yes pictures can be deceiving.
