Ye its strange how they cut at the top where they sit in the slide, ive a set that are 75% gone and you wouldnt expect them to go in this area seeing as they sit in plastic. I think it must be that being a very lose fit allows them to be worn by the constant vibration from the bike.

Just thought i'd update this thread with some new developments!!
Riders of Yeovil can supply the 5DH7 carb needles for £16.90 + vat which works out at £83 a set!! :o :shock:
However i have just picked up a second hand set of carbs for £24.99 off Ebay (love that site sometimes!!) which have three lovely unworn needles in them!! They're very dirty but thats what carb cleaner was invented for!!

So armed with a o ring kit from Variablevalves suck i will be rebuilding the carbs and hopefully get the bloody thing running!!!

Top work- ive used Riders for rare jap parts for my VVC bandit before but any thing for the carbs is megga money, the o'ring set i supply for £11 would set you back over £80 from Suzi.
Its good that you got some needles as i called in the brakers today for the GS500 carbs but all the bikes have gone, same as there was a complete Zx4 that you may have been interested in to brake.

no worries mate. If you hear of any bikes like that then give me a shout.
The carbs are now all rebuilt ready to go back on!!
