83 KZ1100 LTD Shaft Carb Rebuild Kit where to find

Please help me with finding a rebuild kit for my bike.
From what I have read, are the carbs the BS34?
If you know a cheap reliable place to get rebuild kits for the carbs, please provide link to compatible kit.

Thanks


As a side note...
How much have people paid to have their carbs (same as mine) rebuilt and synced/tuned?

I have skill enough to rebuild carbs but I dont know how to tune them afterwards.

I am trying to figure costs to determine wether I want to send them to wired george or rebuild myself and have local shop tune/sync...

I'd check in this order

1. Local shop that you trust

2. Z1E - there's a link in the Vendor area of this site

3. Bike Bandit - ditto on the link


It's been a while, but the last time I had a set of carbs cleaned, a DJ kit installed and synch = about $300.

It's not all that complicated, though you will need to pick up a couple of specialty tools that you can continue to use at subsequent tuneups.

Got mine for my 82 shafty 1100a2 on E-bay from "Georgefix".Got all 4 for $80.Came with o-rings,bowl gasket,float needle and seat,and pilot screw and spring.I think they even had new main jets too,but I was installing a Dyno Jet kit at the time,so I used thiers.If your bike is stock and runs good,the only thing you may need to fiddle with after is the idle speed and pilot screw setting.

I got my bike back in July and she hasnt ran 100% correctly. There is a misfire I havent figured out. Anyhow, I believe the bike had been setting. I am slowly going over the bike. I might do a rebuild of the engine this winter. I am sure the carbs could use a rebuild and new jets

www.carbkitscapital.com/
www.motorcyclecarbs.com/index.cfm , also sudco has kits
or better yet while a bit costly, ship the carbs off to wiredgeorge in texas and have him rebuild them to like brand new.
