float needles

[trbig]

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

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?

Edit: Maybe someone will chime in who has bought this..

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 needles.

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

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.

I may have 4 new ones at home. I'll check tonight
