Carbies
33mm smooth-bore Mikunis which are also called blacktops. They are the carbie that sits in between the 29mm smoothbores and the flat slides in the Mikuni race carbie family. Good for GS1000 2v motors all the way up to the EFE 4v motors, but work better on the latter motors for the street as the are a little large and tend to not carburate as good as the 29mm carbies. Worth about 400-500 australian dollars.(Getting rare)

REally? What would that be in US? Are you sure they are smooth bores? Every picture I have seen of the intake looks like it shows it is attached by 4 allen head screws(socket cap) these are one piece cast if I remember correctly. This picture might help, but probably not.

The only Minkuni carbies that i know that have 17mm drain caps are smooth-bores or early Kawaski carbies. These look 99.9% like smoothbores to me but a good way to check is open the slides and notice the SMOOTH contour of the air intake passage-way.

how to measure carbs
There is all this talk about certain size carbs. i.e. 33mm smooth bore carb or 29mm whatever. What dimension are they talking about? What do I measure?
