I THINK THE SINGLE FEED IS A 28 MM TRAIT....BUT I M NOT SURE...IF THEY ARE WHAT HE SAYS, I WOULD GRAB THEM AND HAVE GEORGE DO A REBUILD......

sounds like a plan if they don't go to high.

Those are 28's. Beware the idle adjust knob is on the bottom side. PIA to adjust idle without burning your hand on the engine.

Could be wrong, but didn't think these Mikuni VM28SS carbs were really all that "rare" as touted in the listing. Other members will likely know more about how readily available these carbs might or might not be.

These carbs were oem (factory stock) on 1978KZ1000-D1 (cafe racer), 1979KZ1000-A3 (standard model), and 1979KZ1000-D2 (cafe racer), and perhaps others.

Being manual slide (not CV), I consider such carbs user friendly and easy to get along with. The listed carbs appear clean, but that's usually impossible to really know without actual disassembly and inspection, unless lucky enough to get bolt-on perfect performers.

Good Luck!
