So kawasaki no longer makes a replacement for this part, correct?

This is turning out to be a nightmare and a half....lol

The Kit that Z1 says will fit that bike in the post, does not say not will fit on their site.

I promise i'm not trying to be argumentative, just frustrating.

I've been to 4 local cycle shops, one that stocks "every" kit for the kaw's and compared mine to each of them. Many, Many emails to multiple companies and no one seems to able to match a kit for my bike.

I TRUELY appreciate all the help from everyone!

Thanks again,

Rob

I've searched all my parts sources for 43020-1016; 1020; and 1027 and I struck out. You may find (as Martin suggests) that some of the rubber bits from other kits will work properly on your MC. Unfortunately, determining which ones will work may be rather difficult unless you have funds to buy a bunch of different kits to compare their primary cups, etc. I'm surprised that the kits don't seem to be available NOS or aftermarket. Maybe ask one of the kit suppliers or manufacturers if they have specs you could use to cross reference the rubber bits? Sorry I can't be more helpful. Ed
