No...I'm running 29mm Smoothbores.
I HAVE purchased from Jeff though,and He's pretty dam good to deal with.
That's the thing though...Jeffs kits look like they DO have a lot of parts...those ones,anyways.

I got those very same kits that Sandy revealed in the Z1 link. I do not regret it. You can also just go to a dealer and pic up Mikuni jets fairly cheaply, 5-7 bucks, if I remember correctly, each for some 17.5 pilots that I grabbed last year. But if you don't get a comprehensive kit, you might find yourself getting float valves, o rings in tiny bizzare sizes, little springs, paper washers etc. to a greater or lesser degree. When you take your carbs apart, you'll see what's needed. Maybe they aren't that bad and you can clean the needles and jets and get through with a limited amount of new parts, it's your call.
