Consider Lancers kit , comes with extra jets & manual to learn from. Also in 36 & 38.
Mikuni vm series is one of the best carbs around , has been used in racing for 50+ years.
Once fully tuned acceleration is great , idles perfect & choke for cold starts
It’s a racing carb , mpg or acceleration , tough to have both.

Looks like an incomplete kit for twice as much. Go for it.

I would consider Lancer's kit because he provides tons of free information to forum members.

But, the search button will find threads like this if you want more information:

Thanks. I use the search button a lot, but I also get timeouts a lot, so it's hit or miss. I will consider Lancer. He's been very nice to me in the past.

Twice as much as what? It's $366. If you know of a kit for $183, please share.

Lancer is the goto Mikuni guy on here.

Also here you can get a genuine Keihin with all the needed parts and extra jets for tuning for 292.

A few options there. Pick from the picklist midway in the screen then recheck the price at the top to see the cost.

Youll still either need to modify your cable or buy a new one.

Spamy: is that angled filter available separately?
Cheers! 8-)

WOW! That sure is a lot of pink hoses!

I can see that I would be capping the duplicate vents, and using "T"s to merge a few hoses together....and installing some black or clear hose to replace the pink stuff.

Little Pink Hoses, babe, for you and me . . .

I've used the kit and it works well. That being said, knowing what I know now I would have gotten it from Lancer. At the time this was new to me and the Murry's was much easier to purchase.
