Yep that's me, got a set of rvf carbs one day, sat in the sunshine beside Claire to clean them and adjust them to stock and snapped all but one screw. £65 well spent.

Had to drill the screws and tap in a torx bit to remove then asked Aly Bayley ( I think it was ) for 4 new ones, I think Honda were expensive for them.

Good luck buddy
