Pulling my carb bank it next few days. Want to cut the slots in the mixture screws in order to adjust easier. Also do some cleaning. I've thought about buying new ones, But for 6 of them it's 85 bucks for oem. Anyone know of aftermarket match? Or have used any others with success? Thanks

they are used on many honda bikes. go to a parts house and u can see all bikes the part fits. they really don't wear, why change?

If you still need carb gaskets/parts and tools, look at Red Eye Technical Services online.  I got mine from them.  I also got an inexpensive fuel/air mixture  tool.  All worked and the price was great compared to Honda.

Yep, the tool made the job very easy. I say replace them after seeing what shape mine was in.  cooldude

I looked, but couldn't find it.

Suggestions, or the name they call it so I can do a search?

Here is a link to amazon that carries it. This is what I use on a 1/4 socket when I do them on the bench
