I have a pair of 5I4 needles from RD250 carbs if you have your heart set on that particular one.

Just received the 5I14 needles from Niche Cycle. They are about 5mm shorter than the stock 5I4.

well, shit.

they are pretty good about returns

BlueR32 · October 29, 2026, 09:02:28 PM

Well between the 20% restocking fee and the return shipping it's hardly worth returning. If anyone has a use for them let me know!
