Anyone recognise these carbs?
A PO installed the Mikuni as well as pods and a Bassani pipe. It gets 35mpg compared to 60 stock but she really hauls a$$.

I replaced all the locks with ebay items so they all use one key. I can't blame the PO for that one. I lost the key at a job site so I broke the ignition to get it started:blush:
I also quickly painted the plastic cover. It really shows how faded everything else is.

I guess it really does not matter the make of the carbs as I hope to not have to touch them.
It matters to every single guy with a single throttle cable KZ 550 who is scared to death of finding parts for their ancient TK 26V's... especially if theres' a bump in power involved... 35mpg beats the crap out of 18mpg from my safari (Holds 1 KZ550 frontloaded with 4" to spare for the taillight).
