    Don't worry about cost but more the quality. If you go too cheap you will get junk and won't be able to tune the engine correctly. From what I've seen on here, stay away from the Emgos

      Right after posting this I checked e bay and found a set for $99 that's not AS bad...but I'm sure it's about the same after shipping.
      The last set that I bought new, only lasted 30 years.

        That is damm expensive at $4 per year, or 33 cent per month, or a penny a day. How can you afford it?

            The carb linkage would be against the engine.
            Can't imagine why Suzuki didn't just make the engine cradle a bit larger.
            I use pods on many of my bikes and can't envision any of them fitting in those tight quarters.
            The center two carbs yes, the outer two no.

            Daniel, have a look at this thread for getting carbs in and out easier.

            This is pretty self-explanatory I think...
