I bought a project XS500 without carbs. Could anyone recommend a good replacement carburetor for a 76 or 77 XS500?

    Tried that and never received a reply. Thanks though. It turns out my bike is actually a '78 XS500E. The carbs that the bike came with were Mikuni BS3411. Does anyone know any alternative carbs I could use in place of the BS3411? Like the Mikuni VM round slide??

    Thanks,

    Austin
