SO, I recently purchase an XS over in Ohio. The gentleman I bought it from claimed that the carbs were Mike's XS carbs (a kit?) so I contacted them about getting a manual on them. The left one has leaked a little and if I don't shut the gas off, it runs out the overflow. There are other performance issues, but that can wait 'till later.
At any rate, I plan on building a rigid bobber out of this bike anyway and going to a single Mikuni. The big question here is, one does anyone have a copy of the manual for the older, discontinued Mike's XS Performance carbs? AND TWO, should I decide to strip and sell stuff, are these carbs worth anything?
 
If they are the PWK clones then they aren't worth shit. Probably the worst carb ever put on a 650.
 
I'm beginning to see that now. Thanks Weekendrider for the link. I may just pull these and go to my one-carb setup and get it tuned before my teardown. That way I don't have to do it on a freshly built and painted bike.
