WTB GL500 carbs for spare, dirty OK.
Reply Quote
I'm looking for a set of "practice" carbs for my 82 GL500I that I can run through the Larry procedure, learn alot, and maybe have a decent spare when I'm done. I'd rather do that than tear my fully functional ones apart to try to squeeze another bit of performance out of them and risk taking the bike down for an extended period.

I have an ultrasonic cleaner, so how hard could it be? (That's a joke)

Thanks, 'stitch.  I saw those, and didn't know if 42 bucks was the going rate for carbs of dubious pedigree.  I suppose if those are missing some parts, I'd learn even more!
