Good carb kits for the T500?

I am starting to dig into my carbs on my T500 project. They are the "newer" style from what I can tell by working through them. They are vented to atmosphere and have a 5FP17 needle and a round 97.5 main. I need for sure float bowl gaskets but possibly nothing more. Before buying just the gaskets from Suzuki I wanted to check if anyone had any good suggestions for a rebuild kit for this carb. Sometimes a good aftermarket kit is not much more than stock gaskets from Suzuki.

Any suggestions for reputable carb kits for this T500?

thanks!

Buy the OEM gaskets. Of every kit I've bought for my T500, the only thing of any use were the gaskets. Sometimes.

Why buy a kit, when even the gaskets may not fit?
