1981 GS450T carb kits.
Does anyone sell a carb kit for the carbs on a 1981 GS450T? I have looked every where and just cant find anything. i would like to get the complete o-rings and gaskets plus I know I need new jets and needles. the plungers are in great shape in just missing a few key components.

You don't need new jets and needles unless yours are really screwed up and then you can just get those individually in a lot better condition than in a carb kit. As far as your orings - get them from www.cycleorings.com (rob barr is a member here and runs the service) while your bowl gaskets can be purchased from Z1 or any of the vendors in your megawelcome (Basscliff's site - http://members.dslextreme.com/users/Bikecliff)
Trying to buy carb kits will cost you over $100 and the jets are inferior quality than what you already having in your carbs.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Hey Scott I think i'm going to start the same project on my 450! i don't have new bowl gaskets but once i get them i'm going to start.
You should post some updates as you work through the project!

They hit you up for $7.95 per gasket.
G&S Suzuki and Boulevard Suzuki both sell them for $5.87.
On the other hand, you could have gone to Alpha Sports and paid $10.73.
