I sent you a PM

The most I have paid for a set of these cvks was $100 off a low mile 2002 ex500, and I got another set for $50 with the Kawasaki push/pull throttle. I have some 38's but they are original to my 78 even when I swap them they are staying with the bike.

Good idea! you can make it the thickness you want. I didn't want to rob parts from functioning carbs.

I believe it was a "98 ninja I got new boots from the yamaha dealer down the street but my old ones look fine ( my 77 came with bs34's ) Judging from the needles I would say someone has already been inside them. I have some GJH needles on the way from member weekendrider, hopefully they will be...

I'll take one

I got the throttle and cables with them. As I understand the cables are too short, I wonder if the Vulcan cables are longer I found out the Vulcan carbs are 32mm mine are 34mm. I'm going to soak everything in Pinesol tonight and throw all of it in the ultrasonic at work tomorrow.

some pics of what I have. The inside was pretty dirty, I have 140 mains and 35 piolets. The needles I am going to measure and try to reference through the Sudco book. I don't think what I thought were shims really are, I think someone tried toset them above the clip maybe to take up some space...

I will bring them to work tomorrow and measure them. I'm going to try to post some pics in a min. I'm a bit of a techno peasant.

And, are the carbs from a VN500 Vulcan the same as the EX? I read on chop cult that the EN450, EX500 and the VN500 are all the same motors, so would the carbs all be the same fit? I know this isn't a Kawasaki site, but I thought someone may have come across this info while exploring this swap.

Yes there are some shims. How can I identify the needles I have?

I just opened up my EX carbs and I have clip type needles in there. I was expecting to find nail head type needles, I was planning on re using the "button" off the stock needles. I can't see any identifying marks on the needles that were in the carb. How can I determine which needles I have. I...

Dirty and rusty is fine I need it for mock up and and to figure out some dimensions.

So is it Just the front loop? I don't need the swing arm, but I am looking for frame that at least still has the swing arm bosses. If you don't mind, send me a pic of what you have.

I need a frame titled or not. PLEASE anyone, if you have one let me know. Thank you.

That would be a HUGE help to me, very cool.
