That's actually not a bad price. Caps and slides are worth that

The seller also has a set of early'ish instruments. I believe these are good for bikes from around frame 500 or so

that is a really clean set of carbs, and the very difficult to find highly perishable 5 mm cable looks in very good condition.  brass horizontal vents would add $500.  a long choke arm would give added value of another $250 or more.  if necessary, one could make a short choke are long.  i know Gerard will appreciate my comment!

i cannot remember - are carb bodies of horizontal vent bodies same as 90' elbow vent bodies?

I think I might have a NOS cable for #28 carbs.  Can anyone look at the photo and see if these are the correct throttle cable for #28 carbs

[Steve Swan]

the cable setup on the left appears 5mm type.   measure the black casing on both cables.  the one on the left should be 5 mm

the chrome elbow that screws into kill switch housing is different than the later 6 mm type.  the early elbow is a more acute bend, than later.  the early elbow is also shorter.
