I saw them on ebay with a buy it now for 125.00, but If I were going to get one I'd buy Lancers package. He has assembled everything you need and then some. Plus he will be there to answer your questions, or help If you need it. That's worth whatever markup he's making.

Well from what I can tell Lancer doesn't mark up much if any..... just thought it might help him out if he could get them a little cheaper..

I know when it comes time for me to get these parts I'll go to him for it to keep me from piecing it all together as he's done that for us..

I appreciate the consideration gang, but JCW is showing a very high marked up price in order to appear to be offering a low marked down price.
Their marked down price is pretty much the regular retail price of the VM carburetors. Their price on a 36VM is $135.99 (reduced from a claimed price of $220, which is crazy high) while the retail price from my source is $148.37. Most of the parts suppliers I use enable a 15-20% profit for me before shipping costs. For the Performance Carb Kit I use 4 sources for the parts which cost about $60 just for shipping to me, and under the bottom line I end up with about $75-85 net for the kit.

Just this week the prices on Barnett throttle cables jumped up 30-40% without warning...talk about a shocker! The basic black vinyl cables were priced at $38 and are now $52. With the nearly $1 trillion that the crazy's in DC just spent and will be taxing all of us for the rest of our lives to pay back, there will be significant inflation in our future, which will jack prices for everything we need and use.

Toto, I wish I was in Kansas, I wish I was in Kansas.

With boots like that I doubt anyone would even notice what type bike I was riding. ;D

Me too. The Wicked Witch's Flying Monkeys (insert apropriate D.C. senate/congress joke here) always gave me nightmares as a kid.
