Looks that they've done a really nice job on them.

Is there a crack in the lowest carb of third picture?  Where the screw Mount's them to the rail.

Matt @ Harpers does all my carbs, does a first class job every time and not a huge cost. The last set was for my GS1000, I went through all the setup jobs like balance and idle jets etc and didn't have to change a single thing. Even the tickover was spot on. Had the notorious PD carbs done on my 750F2 and it has never ran so good, even ticks over at 1100 RPM steady. Well done that man.
