Thank you so much for the link, that is VERY helpful, and I'm sure not just to me. TwoTired, no one said you were wrong, and no one was complaining about prices or lack of aftermarket on these parts, simply frustrated that they are unavailable. Your point makes complete sense, don't get me wrong, I personally just thought you came off as a bit harsh to some guys (including myself) that asked a simple question.

OK . That's fine.  I'll make it a point not to respond to any more of your posts and questions, lest you find the information I provide offensive.

Good luck!

I had exactly this same problem a while ago. I went with two #1 and two #3, they are certainly not a mirror image and were a pig to get on. When I next removed the carbs, after a couple hundred miles or so, they had settled in and were a breeze to put back on. It's worth remembering, if you're running pods, that the F2/F3 ones will also do the job but you can't interchange F2/F3 ones with K7/K8 ones as the K7/K8 ones are shorter. The F2/F3 ones are only available in #1 and #3 too  :)
