Motorcycle Repair: 1984 V65 magna, float valves, float valve


Question
I am rebuilding the carbs on a V65 magna VF1100c my question is I am replacing the float valve and found some aftermarket ones made by Keyster have you ever heard of them is the quality decent or should I go with the honda ones? Thanks

Answer
The originals are the best as aftermarket
quality varies. The Keyster's are a
commonly used replacement and float
valves may be ok but carb jets can be iffy.

It is getting harder to access original
parts for older bikes and we may come to
depend on these other suppliers eventually.
