I second the "MikuniOz - great to deal with comment"
Old school "ring up and talk to someone that knows their stuff" service.
Then order what you need at very fair prices.

Who would have thought that business model would work? ;)

$105US + $25US ain't so cheap when you do the conversion math, buy local & give Tom or Kay a call at T.D. Hatrick (Mikunioz), or just order one through your local bike shop.

Tom and Kay are great.  You can't go wrong.  Highly recommended

Only caveat is that you need to know your stuff.

I bought a pre-jetted stock carb for my IT400 and it was way off the mark.  I think it is a different generation of VM38 carb, so the original jetting is not applicable. Either that or the thing miraculously gained a whole swag of airflow performance between carbs.

Nearly sorted now and Tom was Ok to deal with but as a novice, I was floundering for a while.
