Thanks, been looking at a set on Ebay, but they were from a 1990 model and mine is the 1991 and were not sure if they fitted. my bike is running OK but not perfect. gonna get a set and  clean +rejet, then swap the complete set. then if there are any issues I can put the origionals back on till I sort iy out.  :good2:
