They seem too cheap, but i did get a piston and ring set off them a year ago for a KH400. It was spot on. The last carb kit i used was from Sirius consolidate in the states .If I need another carb kit i will try the cheap Japanese. Buy one and then you can tell us if it's crap or not.

Just remembered that Cruzinimage did me a nice set of carb intake rubbers for CB550F at about £15, and they came with the clamps.

One a slightly different note, can any one recommend a place to get just bowl o rings?
I'm about to clean my carbs and again... and will need them for sure as they expand very quickly and are super fiddly to put back.

Thanks
