This is his clam:
Don’t just rebuild your carbs – MAXI-BORE them!
MAXI-BORE carbs are more than just cleaned, rebuilt, or bored, they are MAXI-BORED.
Outperform 29mm Smoothbores, at a fraction of the cost. How is this possible?
MAXI-BORE carbs look stock on the outside. So, no one will know the power you have on tap. Vastly improved throttle response.
There is no easier, cheaper, more reliable way to build huge, dependable HP gains with your engine. Compatible with ported heads, high lift cams, big bore kits & any exhaust. Multiply the power potential of your engine. If you have a modified motor, why settle for 26mm carbs? You won't believe the difference MAXI-BORE carb re-manufacturing will make.
Make your stock motor run with the big bore kit guys. Many engine modifications can reduce the reliability and life of your engine. MAXI-BORE carbs can make your stock bike faster than modified bikes, without any of the reliability issues of engine modification. Instant power, OEM reliability, at bargain basement prices!
So, good, even a stock engine will roar with delight.
What’s so special about MAXI-BORE carbs?
The MAXI-BORE process was developed on a FLOW BENCH! After weeks and weeks of flow testing this design was created. A work of art that combines extreme airflow improvement with vastly improved fuel atomization, and stronger jet signals. You see, liquid fuel can not burn, only vaporized fuel can burn. MAXI-BORE carbs are more fuel efficient than your OEM carbs. You get more power and usually better fuel economy. You get more fuel in your engine, and more of that fuel is burned, making more power.
Stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm (cubic feet per minute) at 10” H20 vacuum.
30.5mm MAXI-BORE carbs flow 105cfm.
29mm Smoothbores only flow 98cfm.
So, the total flow increase in your four carbs is a whopping 140cfm!!! That’s like adding 2 more 26mm carbs!
Think you understand airflow? Here are some questions that might let you know where you stand on airflow.
Any feed back you could provide would be greatly appreciated. $500 is a chunk of change I do not want to throw away and I won't have my old carbs to go back to since he bores out my carbs.

I found a couple of local guys who do this. They charge 40-50 per carb if I disassemble them. $550+parts if taking in the whole rack. None of them do anything with the intake manifolds.
Maxi-bore includes gaskets, intake manifold shaping and cleaning the carbs for $499 plus shipping both ways.
I'm going to give you guys some more time to reply before making the decision but I'm leaning hard towards the Maxi-bore.

wg's info mentions "priority service" for the o-bores, which may help expedite the process.
If you have a set of VM26 carbs being rebuilt and headed for our work queue, we can upgrade them to O-Bores for $249 additional to the cost of a rebuild. They are pulled out of the normal queue and given priority service.
Good Fortune!
