Ohhh jinx
Oh and I don't think they are hard chromed, they mark and rust far too easily for that to be the case, I think they are satin chromed.

My 400/4 Gerben ones, which I must admit I bought from a member on here, not directly, work and look great but being picky:-
a) He used pattern brassware (I think he only fits original Keihin now though).
b) He silver painted the alloy link casting, which is not standard.
c) Some of the JIS screws were replated slightly nadgered ones.
d) He only fitted the plastic air-screw covers to the two outer carbs.

The real headache is the pivot bar, which is prone to corrosion and was originally hard chromed. I just cleaned mine up and varnished it.
