What makes these so special? Hard to find?

$$. I think the current bargain price is about $105 each from Partzilla, so $60 for the pair was the proverbial screamin' deal. Good teamwork, Mark & Dennis!

They look like authentic PWK carbs. Not a knockoff that you can get for 20 dollars. They are so easy to tune and have great response. I am currently using the OKO (Taiwan knockoff of PWK, MUCH better), its been a much easier road than my VM28 (and I love those carbs). Also the wide range of jets are available at an afforable price :)

Update: 15003-1643 PWK28s via Kawasaki appear now to be in the $135 ballpark. $105 is now the going used price on eBay, and Treatland sells a PWK, let's call it a tribute, by Polini for $167 that seems to use Keihin jets, needles etc.

Yup, $133 now.

Still a bargain if you ask me.

Sadly, the ones I got almost a year ago for $106 are still in the box they came in.

I'll get back at it soon

I can feel it.

Yep! What Mark said. The OKO (Taiwan) quality is much better than the Chinese clones, but I am not sure of the stuff they are pumping out to day. the PWK carbs are probably some of the most popular carbs for a lot of builds due to how great they are and affordability. I just love how I can parts for my carb without spending a ton of money :)
