Mikuni VM29ss will they work

I found a set of Mikuni VM29ss carbs. They are off of a 85-87 GSXR 750. The price is right for flat slide 29mm carbs. I know the way to go in new RS flat slides but $600-700 is not an option right now. My concern it that a lot of parts are discontinued for them but I can still get most of the maintenance items from Partzilla/Suzuk

Here is a pic of the carbs, I have requested some more. $170 is the asking price.


For those of you that did not see my other post these would be used in conjunction with a wiseco 10.25:1 1075 kit with Andrews 1X cams.

Those look like CV carbs. The boots will have to be changed and there isn't much meat to accommodate them. Ether keep your VM 26's for now or buy the 28's. The butterfly is the tip off.

Thhose are 34-36 mm CV carbs if theyre atock gsxr Items. Would buy some 28s and be okay with it, or get some 26s and have them bored out, should be similar price, just more of a proven kz set up.
