My carbs were off the bike when I received it, I take it that the carb with the vac line is the center carb and the other 2, LH or RH doesn't matter? I didn't blast the cases, went with a good hand cleaning and a little polish in the visible areas. I'm about to button it up, ordered some Loctite 620, would a couple drops on the upper case be sufficient? I watched the video multiple times, I have rubber seals, so none needed in that area?
Thanks, Buddy.

Originally the carb with the vacuum line was on the right cylinder. Put it where you want to though. I have that one on my L cylinder so I can easily pull off the line and put my finger over the port to run the gasoline out of all three.

Going through the tranny as per the transmission repair thread on the resource site, everything seems to be in spec. It was mentioned that I need to bolt on the clutch basket and sprocket before going through checks?? I didn't see anything in the thread about that.

Any recommendations for clutch plates? Vesrah, EBC, etc.. Where can I find the specs on the resource page for checking clutch plate and springs wear limits? I couldn't find them.

The Kaw shop manual and the Triples Maintenance manual, both on the resource site, have those specs,

Thanks, just what I was looking for, I'm definitely going to throw in some new plates, I've ordered a few things from Jesse Bikes, he has plates for $60 but doesn't specify brand, has anyone used these plates or would I be better off with a familiar name brand?, rather buy from known supplier.

You won't find a better supplier than Jess!
