Ignore carb kits for everything except the gaskets - a lot of Mikuni parts still available new.
I hadn't realised that the parts lists were so silent on the intake parts for these models!

Lovely looking bike, although you might want to find another mirror!

What's wrong with your reed(s)? I'm not sure that they fail all that often.

Food for thought. Before you spend the money on a new reed valve. Take the reed valve off and inspect it. Mine was dirty and let light out around the edges and top. I took the reeds off and cleaned the block. I then re-installed the reeds flipped over ( top was still top). It passed the light test. The edge of the block was dirty enough to not let the reeds seat tight and flipping the reeds took out any relaxation they may have had.
