Hi, I did a search, with nothing??
It might have been on the face thing?
But,  Somebody started cutting carb bowl gaskets out of Viton? And selling??
I just so happen to need 4 bowl gaskets this week for stock 26mm Mikunis.
Thanks.

Hi, Thanks Guys! Matt, I don't need them that fast. I have a couple of weeks to work on this Old Friends Bike! That happened to be mine in 1981! What a story of being passed around and sold! Then bought back over the years then it sat since 2014?? All I know is I am going to make some money for my aggravation!
So I went searching around, I knew I had a box of old carb parts. I found these paper die cut gaskets! I purchased on eBay over 9 yrs. ago when I had a city house I used for storage.
And lucky for me!! I found that float gauge tube for side mount bowls I thought I lost! 

So I will just soak these gaskets and use them.
And OF COURSE! ugly old crusty corrosion inside! WTF! again!!!
I might even need brass jets, main & pilot!
Luckily the gas tank was emptied and still clean.
And look at this wiring? battery cables butcherd and boggered up???

Why Me???
The 1st pic was in my Moms yard in 1981, The 2nd was in 2014.
Then these????
To make it worse! They had 1" Harley grips in 1 pic. on it with silver duct tape for a shim to hold them on???
Good thing, it's 65° with the airconditioner! Plus Beer helps!
