preferably 97~00 but it really should not matter unless they are CALI wheezers!!!

 

What's wrong with california carbs if they have been jetted?a

 

The only difference is 3 extra vacuum ports that would need to be plugged.

 

I need fresh slides, needles, emulsion tubes (needle jets) and maybe floats and float valves; 48 pilot jets may be fun to try

I don't need no stinkin badges, I mean 3extra ports but I guess if their guts are nice and fresh like Downy I could use em...

 

You really don't need the emulsion tubes. Unlike some carbs, the needles don't ride in them.

There is a separate tube the needles ride in which does wear out but is not replaceable, hence the need to replace the carb bodies on high mileage bikes.

Swapped mine out around a year and a half ago.
