            I see it says Mikuni type. If not Genuine Mikuni, hole sizing IS different even though they may be correct size by numbering. May leave you with a running issue in the idle circuit. Four of the Genuine Mikuni pilot jets will run you some $38-40. If those be the real deal, they will have the funny lookin' Mikuni logo on the side. If a Yammy, Suzy, or Kaw. dealer is nearby, that's the route that can still get the "real" jets. Honda uses Kiehn carbs since they own Kiehn, so those dealerships would be of no help.

              You can get 4 of the genuine mikuni pilots for less than $15. I can buy them from my local stealership for less than they charge for the knockoff jets. Pissed the counter guy off when I made him look them up to order and he saw they were cheaper.

                  You can't go wrong with the genuine Mikuni, I have the MikesXS jets in the carbs on both my bikes and they work just fine, they are the correct jets for this application, YMMV.

                              So they list this as GENUINE mekuni.
                              Wonder if I should just buy these as well.

                                That should work fine. Check at a local dealer and see if they can get them. might save you a little since you wouldn't have to pay shipping.
