I apologize for the trivial questions, but I'm a newbie to fixing bikes and this has been driving me nuts.

The first question is which carbs are on this bike? I have been trying for hours to determine the brand of these carbs (picture attached @ bottom).

They need new boots and the The Kawasaki parts diagram says the part number is 16065-1051 which I cannot find anywhere. Will Mikunis fit?

Any recommendations for a favorite rebuild kit?

Thanks

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationDon't see the KZ550 carb holders listed at Z1 Enterprises.
Could submit a parts request to Z1E.

Would first try a good cleaning, which may suffice without requiring rebuild kits.

Good Fortune! :)

A great many thanks to you! I must've searched for four hours. New boots, here we come!

Would you happen to know if these are TK 26 carbs? Not sure how to find that information.
