Always order from treatland. It will be there in under a day for you too, since you're in the west coast. Check out their other stuff. The cheapest for jets around too!
Do not underestimate the power of a two-stroke.

Hmmm .... no.

As stated, I'm looking for genuine Keihin. 

I'm sure, as copies go, the Polinis are very good.  And I'm sure the local scooter boys at scooterswapshop.com have good things to say about them.  In fact, I might just pop over there and ask their opinion.  They have them in stock for cheaper than Treats and are less than a mile from my house.  At least I know they will have all the brass I need, whichever carbs I go with.

https://scooterswapshop.com/products/polini-carburetor

The Polinis get mixed reviews over on the UK LC forum, with many tales of woe regarding fortunes spent replacing brass and "oh, why didn't I just buy proper Keihins" and the like.

For only $70 more per pair, I'd probably opt for proper Keihins and know I had the real deal.

Keep trying  :cheerleader:

Carb parts warehouse was about the cheapest when I looked a year ago.  They also told me they would change needles and jets to your choice and included a few extra jets with them.

Take the jets/needles into the price factor when shopping.

Well I guess that isn't the place to order them from then.   ;D.   Like I said that was probably a year ago that I had emailed them.  I would have got them from there but I ended up with a set of used ones before I did.
