  • '81 carb bodies

    I'm looking for four carb bodies for a 1981. Good to perfect shape. Meaning all threads. And also rebuild kits.

    Hi Flatlander,
    What did you do to the originals? Horror story with pics
    I gave up on mine as i was never sure if they were even original.

      Happened two weeks ago. Still sick over it. Barley have the stomach to post on the subject.
      Let's just say, "those pesky jets".
      Not able to post pictures. Sorry.
      All pilot jets. One came out. One has been reverse drilled with easy out stripped and broken tube. One has an easy out broke in it. And the last has a broken head off of it, left that one.

        Got em

        I can send u a set of bodies for pretty cheap. I'll check tomorrow on condition & let you know.

        PS: This might be a good time to pick up a set of 78-79s & replace those later 1s.

            Got a few leads on complete sets. Thanks for all the help guys! I just may have this on the road this year. Anyone looking at this suggest carb rebuild kits for late or possibly early model carbs. I would like to keep this in the XS family as much as possible. I'm hoping to pick up complete late model carbs from Tom. Tom thanks for the suggestion on going to a early model set, but I'm thinking if I go late model, I will have spare internal parts and won't have to spend the summer tuning early models to my bike.
            Thanks again.
