You want Keyster kits from NRP, EBAY or Google Keyster etc.
Most models covered on ebay.

In the triples world Keyster kits get very mixed reviews, particularly regarding the fuel metering parts not matching original spec.
Never used any personally, just saying.

I rebuild carbs regularly and use Keyster. Never had an issue with the quality or performance.

Yes, I'm not entirely convinced by the quality of the needles. Quite rough compared to oem.

Over on the Triples Club website someone just posted this cutaway.
You can see a clear difference in shape, although not qualified to know whether or how much difference in flow rate there would be?
Just fitted some in my J. Should I be worried?
Keyster on the left, Mikuni right.

I've rebuilt sets of VM carbs with complete Keyster internals and not had a problem.
With the café I used a GS1000 kit to build my bored out VM26's and they worked perfect straight out the box.
With jets, as long as the orifice is the correct size and the material is like for like it should flow the same.
