Dan is correct. I bought a pair from this guy knowing that they are not
a "bolt-on" for a 2000, but the correct carbs IF you have the correct
linkage.
I don't know what these were meant to go on, but the sure are jetted for
a BIG motor (200 & 180). That, however, is just a minor inconvenience.
They will be soon be heard on my 67.5 appearing at a show near you. :-)
