Interesting that the seller didn't know how to remove a couple of head-stripped pilot jets and still got $1K for that set hehe

i saw that and damn near fell out of my seat and he couldn't get the pilots jets out if he could have, he would have been able to get 1500 out of them for sure. what is the crazy part is that some body actually fell for his speil and paid that kind of money in the first place.

also if 29's are worth a 1000 how much is a set of 33's worth. i have 2 sets so that should be enough for a down payment on a house

The guy who had the auction wrote:
quote A: i do not know of anyone that has had any sucsess removing one ..i have had those stuck before ..i just verified the jet was clean with tooling and left... unquote

WOW! THIS VM29 HAS AIR SCREWS WITH BLUNT TIPS - THE TYPE CARBURETOR WHERE THE VERY SHARP PILOT MIXTURE SCREWS ARE BOTH SUZUKI BS32/34 AND VM26. THE SCREWS ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND THE HOLES ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN A SIMILAR KAW VERION OF EITHER TYPE OF THESE MIK CARBS. I ROUTINELY REMOVE THESE BROKEN OFF TIPS AS IT IS JUST PART OF DOING WORK ON SUZUKI CARBURETORS. I AM STUNNED THIS GUY HAS NEVER REMOVED A BROKEN TIP. wg

It's sickening....

Damn, for another $500 you can buy a complete KZ1000 with 28/29mm carbs, motor, frame, rims, etc...

WTF is the matter with these people that bid on these extremely over priced parts... One they either have way too much money or two they're that friggin stupid.

Hell, I should put my new in the box Keihin 29mm CR Specials and set the reserve at double what I paid just to see what happens.

No disrespect intended towards the mentally disabled but these people are truly RETARDED!
