I have noticed that a number of vendors are out of stock. The price of used units has gone through the roof. I heard an unverified rumour that Keihin were considering ceasing carburettor production.
The used part vendor Mukiedo in Japan has raised its prices accordingly. They have four sets available. I note that Powerbarn and Motowheels are out of stock.

I used the equivalent FCR dirt bike carbs on my M750 . The issue is making the manifold modifications to use side draft carbs on a downdraught intake system. I would use two TM38 carbs on manifold adaptors if I couldn't find FCR or Mikuni pumper carbs that could fit side by side. https://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=76629.msg1434032#msg1434032Pepe is going to run a big Mikuni HSR pumper with a 2 into 1 manifold he'll conjure up. |

I spoke to the local importer and the retail price of an FCR41 kit is now up to $2500 AUD on special order.

I've found the UK and parts of Europe not too bad. Japan's shipping is currently the most expensive I've had to deal with. |

A set of 41's with manifold rubbers and a throttle cost $149 USD to ship from Japan.
I just picked up some 39's and negotiated not buying the metal battery box, manifold rubbers, throttle, cables, pod filters, etc that came with them to knock $50 USD off the shipping and another $300 USD off the total price to just pay for the carbs.
