That will be expensive to do, parts are not easy and definately NOT cheap, where you would get carbs is a problem to start with!
I had one that needed very little and it cost

There are 15 complete sets at the moment on Ebay here's one just for starters at not big money for a set of carbs. There seems to be more parts available now than there used to be only a few years ago.

 The few parts that were available seemed to be from Italy or France and were a fortune for what they were.

I have a draw in my Snap On box still full of bolts and special brackets etc from when I was told to break a crated CBX550 for parts. Prefer the red version better but I may bid on that if it stays cheap enough. I’d love to have a go at those onboard discs again, I was the only one at our dealers who could assemble them without scratching the gunmetal paint, all the first ones delivered looked like they lost a fight with a tiger they were so scratched. Always loved the CBX550, one of my fav bikes.

Why can people not spell whole correctly, it’s not like it’s a complicated word.

My favorite part of Ebay is reading the descriptions and is only beaten by Marketplace on Faceache. ;D
