Hello,
I just discovered the PO had JB welded one of the carb bowls on my T500K....must've been leaking. Anyway I'd love to get a decent carb bowl if anybody has one kicking around. I don't need any other carb parts.

Also WTB a tripmeter reset knob for same bike....methinks this will be tougher to locate, probably many of them got lost over the years.

Thank you.

Peter

Thanks, that was helpful. I went to their site and found (and purchased) some other OEM parts I needed.

Shouldn't the carb bowls be different? The overflow and drain fittings are on the same side, seems kinda odd to me....how would you drain the RH carb with this setup?

Nope. Same bowl for both left and right carb.

Even harder to drain on the earlier models, as the carbs are tucked closer to the engine (due to the shorter intakes). I pulled the carbs off to drain them this year, as I had other stuff to work on this winter anyway.
