OK... I don't have a dog in this fight... just passing along some GOOD info........... angel


                                   

Hey guys... there's a new guy rebuilding Valk carbs now... Billy Carr in Canton, Tx.... he has done over 3000 sets of Honda v4 carbs and just got finished with my carbs... look him up on eBay... fngster..... phone is 903 567 1543 or 903 340 6009... call him.... FYI... Honda didn't look very hard to find a set of carb's for the 1500 Valk's............ There 3rd. GEN Honda Magna carbs so all Honda did was to add a middle carb.... Billy already has 99% of all the needed O-rings and SS screws and might already have a supplier lined up for the vacuum diagrams...

The USPO dropped off 3 set's of v-4 carbs this morning... but since I drove 4 hours to see him, I got bumped to the front of the 'rebuild line'.... cooldude

If you haven't had the service done yet, check out Barnett Cycles in Splendora, about 30-40 miles north of I-10 off Hwy 59.
