® 1960s Honda carburetors

There is a lot of need out there for good repair work on 1960s Honda carburetors. The vintage powersports scene is huge. Many riders are discovering these fifty-plus year old motorcycles for the first time. Unfortunately, the best factory parts are all gone, making effective rebuilds very difficult.

Left side carburetor. One of the earliest constant velocity carbs, the 450/500 DOHC twin carbs ate under-appreciated.

Right side carburetor. As part of the rebuild, these carbs got all new zinc plating on their steel brackets and hardware.
