I have a 2004 VSTAR 1100 Classic.  I am looking to replace the stock PMS screws with the extended ones.  However, I am having a very hard time finding them.  Does anyone have any recommendations.  Thanks in advance.

Seems like amazon wants a lot of money for just the screw without spring or o-ring. I'd go with the other offering.

Hello 4. See the footnote that these may not work on stock carbs? Let us know when you install yours. Also, among the old WIKI articles some of these have different tips and adjust faster than stock. Do you know if these are the original style or not?

I did see that footnote about stock carbs but according to the WKB those parts should work.

Not sure when I'm going to get around to installing them as the bike is running great as is.

It probably wont be until the next time I pull the carbs.

You mention Tim.  I  have bought things from him before.  It was like Dragons Breath or something.  I bought some braided cables from him actually for some 14" Apes I put on a 2000 Vstar like 15 years ago.  I am not sure, but is that dude still in business?  I wanted to get the pilot mixture thumb screws he used to sell, but it's been so long I don't even know if the guy is still in business.  There used to be so many links on this forum and I don't see any this time.  I have not been on here in years, but my account was still active.  I just had to get a password to my email..  I need a set of these pilot mixture screws thumb screws for a job I am doing for a friend.  We are doing some pipes and pods etc.....

Thanks man.

Do you have a link to the PMS thumb screws that anyone might be still selling?  I have been contacting a bunch of my old places, but nobody seems to have them.  I have not worked on one of these in years since I owned one.
