There is a shop in carbondale that has some very good people that know about Vintage Kawasakis.

The last time i was there it was located by the Kawasaki Dealership.

He is a member here but i have not seen him post in a while.

Thier mechanic is named Sonny and he is very very good.

If you need parts or just some answers he is the guy to talk to.
Closed Sundays and Mondays.

I tried to google thier web site but it just comes up on some other search engine. roy

You must be referring to Phillip's Pro Cycle. I haven't been there in a while. They do have a good reputation. The Kawasaki shop near there used to have an excellent service department. Probably the best that I've ever seen. A few years ago something changed though. Now I won't even step foot in the door.

No I haven't. Did you use UPS or the Post Office? Either way, they are probably a little slow because of the holidays. I'll let you know when they arrive.

I sent the carbs priority with delivery conformation so i could track them.

You would think they could move them 150 miles in four days.

I'll check on them. Roy

1616river,

I had my mind made up on the BS34's. I almost bought a set off of Ebay. Then I did some more reading and decided they weren't for me. I know a lot of guys on here have had good luck with them, but some have to do some tweaking to get them right. I really did want to do that.
