Are these float needle valves - OEM or Keihin of equal quality?
They are definitely priced different. On Partzilla OEM ($19.63 each) on Amazon (K&L Supply- Keihin) you can get all six (6) for $21.51.
Anybody know the differences if any?
Like to know before ordering.

As far as I know, Keihin & Mikuni are the brands of carburetors
that they put on Japanese (and a lot of other) bikes, and that
Keihin are the kind they put on Hondas...

Just for comparison, they're $18.18 ea. at Procaliber. Partzilla is easy to beat price wise on just about anything. My experience....if I need carb parts and the supplier has them with the mfr. name on them, I'll buy from him. If they're Keihin parts, I won't pay Honda prices any day of the week.

I've used K&L for Keihin carbs before and the quality was good. I would not hesitate. They make complete rebuild kits for other bikes...just not for Valks.
