:ohmy: :whistle: Sorry to hear that my friend. I know that price includes several different services, but DAMN.....you can buy a brand new set of performance carbs for that. Well, after this it may be worth it to get that manual!

These guys are ripping you off. Period.
Our shop does a complete teardown and rebuild for a rack of 4 carbs $240 - 2hrs. + $80 for parts.
Tune up including points, timing, manometer vacuum syncing, mixture screws, oil+filter change, lube everything - $115 - 2hrs. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
The most important thing is the vacuum sync. If the shop doesnt own a proper manometer/excellent set of guages, THEY SHOULD NOT WORK ON YOUR BIKE.
Sorry to bust your balls, but come on $800 :blink: Are you serious?
Use that quote to harass other shops, and get a better deal!
PEACE.

Holly crap.... :blink: $800.... :ohmy:
New Set CR specials... $700
Morgan Carb Tune ..... $120
Shims, $ 6 each ..... $24
Valve cover gasket ... $10
Total ..... $854
Not hard to see where the best option lies...
No comaprison.... New set of CR's vs. old carb set, regardless of being spot on tuned, the new technology wins in performance.....
Plus you'll get a top of the line sync tool for yourself for this is a desired & required tuning tool on these old KZ's....
@ that price, yup, your getting the bone... :S
Just my worthless 2 cents....
