Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but I can't find their carb rebuild kit like I used last summer. I had ordered that kit some time before last summer so wondering if they discontinued it and only offer individual parts which is all I see on the site. Have I overlooked something or used wrong terminology? (big surprise there, huh?)  Grin

I don't plan a total carb overhaul, but before I sell it I do want to go through the carbs on the old bike which came off the trike. The tank and airbox are still off that bike, throttle cables not attached so now is a good time to do it. Want it to be running good by next month so the next owner will be happy with their purchase.

EDIT: I pulled the "sale as is offer" due to a quick response.

In looking at that site I see something they call "Valkyrie Carburetor Gasket Kit" sans the bowl gaskets for  $95, is that the overhaul kit I need. Doesn't specifically refer to it as "overhaul" or "rebuild" so wondering if that's the one I need.

When I click the link to buy the fuel rail kit, it says he’s closed down still. Is this correct ?

Try emailing Rich at redeye.rich@gmail.com. He might have just forgot to take the note off the website.

I'm about to give up, it says to go to the Redeye.eCrater.com site to order. I go there and nothing like the Valkyrie Carburetor Gasket Kit is on there. Same company, two different sites, different products even though one refers you to the other. Guess I'll go elsewhere although I'd prefer the Redeye kit having used it in the past.

Yeah, it’s kind of screwy. It doesn’t show the fuel rail kit either.

Just for grins, I did a search to see what you were seeing and I found three sites (from DuckDuckGo). 

The first is one you have already mentioned (or at least I think you did).

https://redeye.ecrater.com/p/6738361/carb-fuel-rail-leak-kit

The second link was back here to a 2015 posting.

http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php?topic=81237.0

And in that link Hubcapsc had this link which appears to be what you are looking for but it says "On Hold".

https://redeye.ecrater.com/p/2063876/carburetor-gasket-kit-viton-gf

Don't know if this is any help at all.

If you cant find what your looking for on Redeye you might consider this kit.  I've used 2 of these kits in the last year on two different bikes and the kits were perfect, included all o-rings for fuel rails, carbs and bowl gaskets.  I cant compare to Redeye kits as I've never used them perhaps you could.

I used that All Balls kit once, didn't really like it. The one I got had all the gaskets, o-rings, etc., all dumped in one bag. That was fun trying to figure out which o-rings went where. Next one was the Redeye kit, puts All Balls in the dark ages. I might try to email them to see what or when I can expect to see that kit taken off "on hold."
