Ive got some but they are not the best.

They have black paint on them at the moment but i started to take the paint back on the one and the underneath looked pretty shiny.

They had a nasty weld on top if you can fix that then your sorted. Ill email you a photo tomoz

Cheers Leigh but I needed a clean set to enable me to sling together a good clean bike to sell, I dont want to flog it with my last spare set of mint downpipes!

Haha, well you wanna sell any of them? ill give you £25 for the ER5, Razz

Btw im gonna send you an email now with pics.

Ive had to take the Manifold rubbers off my Chop because i needed to do summat with my Xs, and when the rubbers arrive from you then ill put them on my chop.

ANyway, i put the rubbers on and then i put the ER5 carbs on and by god does it run sweet!

The plugs are the perfect colour and i havent even touched the jets.

100 main jet. yet my XS carbs have a higher main jet than that and it runs good with those aswell. strange..

anyway alls good. Word of warning, if your carbs come off a GPZ you should be fine, But if they come off an ER5/500 or an EX or even an EZ then you will have to take the carb joining bar off.

On the airfilter side of the carbs there is a flat bar linking the 2 carbs together to hold them in place . with that on it is Impossible! to get them into a stock frame without the carbs being on a tilt.

Simply take that bar off and the carbs will sit where theyre supposed to perfectly.

but you need to join the carbs back up again somehow otherwise you will have synch probs, ive joined mine together over the top of the carbs rather than at the back. i had it on my ER carbs on my chop, every run the carbs somehow manged to go out of sync until i put in that bar , perfect from then on
