                    ACtually, its PART of the reason. Ive been asking around and trying to find a set that match yours...the trick is I DONT KNOW what yours are..26mm inlet, but I have never heard of a 26mm pumper carb so i dunno if they're a different model, or if they'll work on a 750cc or 850cc bike...If i find out more, I will take em for sure...but so far, your carbs are a mystery to everyone ive asked.. might be worth a fortune tho, so dont go sellin em off just yet!

                          Alright.....I've been here for awhile now. I know these are prized carbs.

                          Why ? Do they move more gas or something ? More efficient ? Racing carbs ?

                          What makes these so special ?

                              I have a set of those on my bike. There is no fuel mixture screw (only air screws) like the GS carbs have. It's more difficult to get a accurate idle mixture but other than that I like them. Dan
