Early Carbs $ Unobtanium? was created by Yorkie
I'm new here so forgive what might appear to be a dumb question but how much does a set of really early unribbed carbs go for? I have one of the first Z1s but its fitted with ribbed carbs.
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for the response. I will have to keep my eyes open for a set to rebuild as since my bike is one of the first 100 built it deserves the correct carbs.

About a year ago "oinkjohnson" from the "e bay" and his team of shill bidders got a set up to $1,800!
That was the bike that got 2,800 for the frame and engine case. The carbs went for $1,800 bucks WTF?
He gave the old timer, who owned that bike since new $500 for it. Go figure!
