he is pretty good, if you send him a set of carbs he hasnt got yet he will make the impressions, make the seal kit, send you back the carbs with a new set of seals as a gift...top bloke.

I've had a chance to look at their web page again and it seems it's free postage. It can't get much better than that. :D

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

I've had a reply about the rubbers but it's not so good. They said that they've already considered doing them before but as they're still available from Yamaha they don't think it's worth the investment

I've replied stating the cost of a full set is ott and that there's a market for them with several interested parties on this site alone. Also that it makes sense to do them at the same time as the carb to head rubbers which are currently available both oem and aftermarket

I'll see what they come back with....

I found these people really useful for individual carb parts, especially if you only wanted the float bowl seals like I did last year
