Anyone know where I can get some NEW replacement float needles for late carbs (rubber tipped) for less than $10 each?

Yep, everywhere I've looked lists this K&L part number as a 5-pack. Maybe it's like the old hot dog to bun package quantity debate?Float needle pack. Quantity : 5

Think they just toss an extra in there to make you think you're getting a good deal. Psychology sells.

The joke's on them... you put 4 in and have one extra, so you have to buy another bike.. and the cycle continues.Originally posted by BA80 View PostThink they just toss an extra in there to make you think you're getting a good deal. Psychology sells.

No, it's because one of those K&L needles is bound to be defective.

I did, and used the K&L float needles.......still in use, but would NOT recommend them, as the teeny internal spring in them will NOT give you the same fuel levels across all four carbs. Unless your just really into carb R&R a number of times to get fuel levels all the same, stick with Genuine Mikuni float needlesOriginally posted by Prothec View PostYep, everywhere I've looked lists this K&L part number as a 5-pack.

$7 a piece at partsnmore, but not counting shipping. I always buy the set and get the seats too for $15. Made in Japan?
