Who has good and complete carb kits?

I hate carbs.

I watched my friend rebuild his carbs with a kit from RedEyeTech. I was impressed with both quality and instructions.

I went to their website yesterday. It's awful. And there is no mention of carb kits.

I've used a couple kits from AllBalls that I've been happy with.  All o-rings are included for the carbs & fuel rails but you do have to sort them out and figure out where they go.

I wouldn't use All Balls anything especially bearings and fork seals. I would go with OEM as I couldn't find a listing for K&L which is usually is the most goto aftermarket brand.

My 24 yr old valkyrie is finally in need of a carb rebuild.

I've heard people on this board praise redeye for years.
Went to website, nothing to see.

Went to factorypro website. I cant seem to pull up a closeup of the product. Just a thumbnail.
Be nice to hear somebody give some positive feedback, as well.

The david s wilder thing is an email address. If ya type in david s wilder to search engine, do ya know how many of this guy there are?


I'll start looking at mother honda, see what gives there.

David Wilder and Geri's are the best in Valkyrie carb overhauling, they have an motor on a stand and he puts every carb on it and fine tunes it sorta like a plug and play when there done 910-526-5045, you won't be srry

I went to Redeye's site just now.

A couple years ago he had a LOT more in terms of Valkyrie carb stuff (bowl gaskets, O rings and so forth). Don't know why the reduced portfolio - maybe a website revamp? Hopefully he isn't getting out of the business altogether.

Went to the Wayback Machine and found the following. Note that neither this kit nor any other Viton carburetor part which was formerly available through Redeye is now listed:

I sent them an email, and never got a reply.

I bought some stuff from Redeye a couple months ago. He reduced his site costs by going to ecrater. Not a great site but he still has most parts that he used to have.

The link I posted above was archived from his Ecrater site, circa 2019. If he is carrying the same stuff he needs to update the product listings.

He responds to email questions.

     Carbs?  I just rebuilt mine, using factory gasket kits, and I had to replace one diaphragm. 
     I sprung for an ultrasonc cleaner, and it was worth the $120 I paid for it.  The parts come out sparkling clean, like new;  then check and clean all the jets with a teeny wire or drill bit and air,  and it was good enough.
     It's just tedious having to go thru it all 6 times, and cleaning all the parts, but in the end the bike runs real good again.   I synched the vacuum with a simple vacuum gauge setup, and then adjusted the mixtures to get them all in the same state  of tune.   That 6 cylinder engine runs (nearly) as smooth as ever...
     Good luck with yours, you just gotta really want it.

Could you be more specific about 'factory gasket kits'.

I sent Redeye an email last week as well asking for desmog kit and carb rebuild kit.  No reply. 5 days later I sent a follow up email and still no reply. Hope everything is okay on his end.   I did buy the petcock vacuum line and some replacement vacuum plugs from him 2 months ago. These were listed on his website and he responded and shipped out quickly then.
