I am looking for a new carb for my 85R. The seat for the float in my stock one is shot. Is there any place cheaper than ebay out there?

I see they have some forsale on bikebandit. How come the Kiehin's are over $100 more than the Mikuni's. Are the Kiehin's worth the extra money? Also are the Kiehin's on bikebandit the same ones that are being sold on ebay(the new ones on ebay)?

ESR. Reason being, they are fair on price and offer airbox side machining so carb fits in boot. Otherwise it's a tough stretch. And the pwk series is much better for performance over the plain old mikuni round slide. Nothing really wrong with the round. I have one that i bought new and does work well on my trail bike. But.. for max perf, on a stockish engine, a 38 A.S. would be a nice upgrade you wont outgrow.

Who or what is ESR? Sorry I am still learning all the parts companies.
