    Stock. Which version, VM26 or CV34, depends on the year of your bike.

      Depends on what bike you have, put that info in your signature & we'll always know.

          Of course, you need to tell us why you need new carbs
          Are they physically broken?

            No they are not broken, I don?t have any. I bought this bike without carbs.

                  Aftermarket carbs are BIG$$$, I have a set of the non CV type still on a GS1000 engine. I believe they are Mikuni VM type, I would have to check in my storage shop where I keep my non running bikes to be sure.
