I’m on this site.

Is there a Lancer website? That thread is from 2012. There are some recent post but didn't know if the original info was current. That thread also covered a lot of stuff I didn't know was related or not.

Any feedback on Murry's?

I looked at the page you posted, one I had not seen before.  He has a lot of kits for various bikes.  For the LS650 kit he lists a 36mm VM carb, Mikuni cable, and a tube to connect the carb to the air box.
What info are you looking for specifically ?

Look,he's Famous,, around here

I haves shipped to every continent in the world except for Africa, no one there has ever ordered.

Murry’s Kit is priced for less but doesn’t have as much; jetted carb but no extra jets mentioned; throttle cable but nothing mentioned about being made to fit the 3 types of throttle attachment; not sure he mentioned a new rubber flange, which is required to mount a VM carb; no carb manual.  He uses the same carb I use, a  36mm VM Mikuni.

The VM is an improvement over the stock CV carb, with significantly better throttle response and a bump in power.  This is a very capable Carburetor, and it’s performance just improves as it is coupled with other components.  If you’re thinking of getting a 36mm VM I encourage you to replace the stock muffler, if not done yet, with a HD Dyna muffler.  It works extremely well on our bike and a used “new takeoff” is low cost.  There are many on eBay or from a local HD dealer.  Good sound and quality construction.

Combining the carb kit with cam & piston replacements will perk that engine Right Up; the change in performance and feel is just a LOT more of what we like this engine for, a great torque engine across the rpm range...  It makes passing trucks and up-hill mountain roads much easier.  It will make you smile.
A carb-cam-piston combo is the basic foundation for an engine performance upgrade on the LS650 engine. All depends on what you may want.

If you decide to order, I take them directly via email or a PM, and use PayPal.

Someone on here got a Murrays carb and it worked out fine for them.

All things being equal, I would support Lancer because he supports this community.

I believe Murray has stemmed from making custom manifolds for specific bikes, such as using 2 carbs on a Honda CB instead of 4, or on a CX using 1 carb instead of 2.

He has some nice solutions for a lot of bikes.

I think the LS650 stuff might be an attempt to cover more of the market and perhaps may be less tested, by him and buyers as well.  So the kit may be lacking or just plain wrong for some year bikes.
