Are there any rebuild kits out there? If not, what is everyone else doing?

Maybe I should just buy the individual parts from Suzuki. What all would you suggest I get?

I just got this kit:

Arrived fast, looks good but all the kits are jetted the same size. Gaskets look nice.

Re: Carb Kits - 1976 GT500
The problem with Keyster kits is that the needles are not identical to stock needles and in the case of a GT750, the main jets are not correct. How close the jets are to stock in terms of flow rates I cannot answer, but we have measured needles and they are not the same dimensions.
I have been told that on some bikes a keyster needle works better at high elevation, but have not measured that particular application to confirm or deny.
Buy genuine Mikuni jets where possible.
