This tells me that:
A. These carbs run problem free and never need adjustment.
or
B. I'm the last guy on the planet considering opening these badboys up.
I'm leaning to "B" as Wired George makes no mention of these on his site.
Any Thoughts?
These carbs are factory for 83 KZ550 A4 and 82 KZ550H
If these are known to be an issue, what is a viable replacement?

Sorry, must-focus-engage-gray-matter prior to and during typing of eroneous posts;
more specifically the wiredgeorge website makes no mention of tk k26v's. If i recall however, it does however make mention of tekei carbs.
My 20+ years of Honda (keihin / mikuni) ownership has sheltered me somewhat to the finer details of a much wider world around me.
I'll give you a call when the time is right (meaning I've pulled it so far apart I can't figure out top from bottom - left from right), and no, I won't expect a discount for disassembly.
Thanks for the link, mariozappa.

I'm really pleased to see that they don't have the flaps as noted!

Sorry about crappy pic quality, does this look familiar?

That photo shows the throttle side. The choke would have been on the other side, but I'm pretty sure those carbs use an enrichment plunger and not an actual choke plate, so there wouldn't even be anything to look at on the other side.

I've pulled the carbs off and cleaned them up, there really isn't any sign of issue (rough idle prior to storage), and I'll run a vacuum balance once reassembled on the bike.
Would there be any benefit to changing jets to accomodate for my kerker exhaust and uni filter?
If so, which and where to source?
