1979 kz200 carburetor HELP!!!

Any successful carb replacements(aftermarket)? I broke the mixing chamber cap on my carb, and cannot find a replacement cap. Any help would be very much appreciated. This is my first bike. Just got tags and insurance today, and can't ride!!

Jesse,
As far as I know there is no easy aftermarket solution. If you will post a picture of the broken part, one of the members here may have what you need.

DimeCityCycles carries carburetors. Not sure what size the KZ200 would need, but they list a Mikuni VM22 ($79).
For any replacement carburetor, I guess you'll need to check to see it it will fit the carb holder & airbox.

This is the part im talking about. I find it hard to believe that none of you guys have switched to an aftermarket carb!! Parts for these carbs are very elusive

Also, if i swap carbs, ill just run an aftermarket air filter off of the carb, and do away with the stock airbox. Just curious as to what the appropriate carb would be
