    Sold it this March. Needed the cash and It wasnt a daily rider anyway, so the "least" of the herd went. Sounds like they are 22s. they usually did measure large. Want me to go take a look in the tote and report back?

      You might as well tell me what you want for them first.

        All the bodies and bowls, slides, and everything else that I have left of them for 50 is what I was thinking. Can take pics of them soon as I dig them out. Where they being shipped to??

          That's reasonable, but with shipping and carb kits (for the needles ) I'm looking at a couple hundred.
          Thanks anyway!

            Needles are like 6 bucks each from Sirius Consolidated. Dont waste the time on kits full of stuff you dont need. Reuse all the other jets from what you have now. And Sirius has 4 packs of bowl gaskets for 9.00 a full set of 4. Think they are on page 5.

              Needles on page 6....The longer KZ1000 needles fit them also. Just a little longer on the slotted end.

                  So my experience is that to Canada would be around 15 to 20 bucks. I can run over to the storage unit right after work and get stuff out and snap pics if you want. If the internal hard parts arent broke or missing there isnt any need to ever buy "kits". Waste of money and too expensive for the 1 or 2 things youll actually use.

                  You get the VM oring kit from Robertbarr here on the forum and the needles and bowl gaskets and yu should have everything to rebuild a set. Inventory what you do have as far as are the pilot jets all there? All 4 floats and float needles? All 4 main jets and emulsion tubes??? PM me and let me know so I can be sure to get as much of what you need gathered.

                  Heres Roberts website. 1 kit does all 4 carbs. He also has the intake boot rings. Measure the inside diameter of the orings groove to be sure to get the correct size.

                    Maybe shipping will be less if you send just the bodies. I cleaned all of the brass and cut new gaskets weeks ago already. I've been at an impasse ever since. The bike's in limbo.

                          Those carbs could be from a Kawasaki z650/kz650. They are most likely vm24, I tried a set on a 78 gs550 mounted on a Suzuki rack mount but gave up trying to tune them
