Bearded One:

Thank you for the comment..........I love this machine (high fun factor)

I would watch on ebay for a kit and don't cave and buy an aftermarket one (too many issues with them)

The general consensus is that the kits aren't great for anything other than the gasket.
Individual Mikuni parts should be available from Niche and other suppliers.
Part numbers and sizes will be listed in the manual in the Tech Library.
