Jerry,
You can do fine with your dealer if you go there with part numbers in hand. That way all they have to do is punch the numbers in the computer -- nothing to look up. To obtain the correct and current number, just go to http://motorcitypowersports.com/catalog.asp The third icon down on the left (oem part finder). Follow the links to find your bike. All the part numbers are correct and current. If there is no part number for a piece you are looking at, it means the part is no longer available.
No one mentionrd this so I will. Avoid using Keyster carb rebuils kits. They are junk. About the only thing usable is the float needle and seat and the bowl gasket. The rest is trash.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Unfortunately, I agree whole heartedly with Coyote on this one. I've been down that road with Keyster, the hard way. Heed, and ye shall learn.
Cheers.

I also agree. Keyster's float valves are fine, and the whole kit is cheaper than genuine Mikuni float valves, but the jets and needles are crap!

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........
