    Thanks! This is for an '84 VF750 (RC15).

    It's the left side - rear - (#1 I believe) as you are sitting on the bike. Here are a couple pics of the carbs showing the repaired one relative to the others.

    I'm missing a carb link arm bushing that goes between # 1 and #3
    It a nylon bushing that looks to be really important to keep the carb sync right. Anyone have one or know where to get one. Fabrication would be sketchy. here's the pic.

    Are these pretty universal for most VFR carbs?

    You might be able to 3d print one. If I am remembering this correctly, they are just a fitment sleave for the linkage. Send me the dims and I might be able to make something happen. Although I don't have any carbs out at the moment.

    Thanks for the offer Rogue but the dimensions are so fine I don't have the tools to measure it.

    Let me see if it looks like the VF750 uses the same bush as the 500, I have some 750 carbs that need to come apart anyway.

    Rad.

    You're gonna need some pretty low clip-ons to mount the upper cowl anywhere close to looking good and allowing the lowers to work with everything.

    You got some work, that's for sure. From my experience mounting cowls from other bikes, every problem you solve you create two more.

    Good luck! Look forward to seeing progress.
