Reason I ask is because Jets wants $25 for shipping. I'm shipping to a US address but the payment is coming from canada. Doesn't seem fair at all. So I'm looking at other options.

Make SURE it's genuine Mikuni! I had some problems with the K&L needles that was solved via genuine parts.

I always buy mine from here. They are in Canada and shipping is a little more reasonable at @ $15 last time I ordered.

Hey Blank,

MikesXS parts are Mikuni Like! Also, look at the URL of the Jets r Us link you posted....the last part starts with KL and in K&L, the crappy ones!!!

JETSrUs also shows another item:

http://www.jetsrus.com/individual_parts/007_976k_su.html

And it looks more closer to a Genuine Mikuni type.

Here's a different one they say is for the 80 but also the 81....but it also says it's GENUINE MIKUNI, and has the same prefix #.

What I found was item #48-5019 that says quality made in Japan, but the large image didn't show the Mikuni stamp.

Maybe it is genuine mikuni but the part is so small they cant print on it? I will call them to find out

Nope not genuine Mikuni.

The Mikuni needles sit higher in their seats unlike the one in your pic which is flush with the seat.

In this link item #24 are the genuine Mikunis for the early carbs:
