Carb Kit (for '82 GS1000S Katana)

[Motoinfo]

Picked up rough but all there '82 Kat.   Will need a rebuild kit but am told by those selling carb kits the GS1000 kit  won't work on the '82 Kat (US).  Any recommendations?  Sent a note to Allens in the UK, Japbikespares.com (Forseti carb kits), and K&L doesn't list one for the '82 Kat.   Thought a carb kit for this would be a no-brainer....

I use these carb kits. Not the cheapest but good quality and not he insane prices of OEM .

These bits for the 1000 kat look like they're for the CV carb version, not the 'slide' smoothbore type (as for UK model).

You bet, 1979 Red Rocket.  Same as the Kat, everything is there, no dents in the tank, rims, or exhaust which is amazing.  But sat for 30+ years.

@Motoinfoplease keep it OSS specific. We don't need the pics and stories about inferior stuff.

Nice Kat, sure has potential.
