carb spinner with paper gasket and mounting screws all in one kit is needed for this carb change from stock as the new intake places mikuni carb to front and will hit frame if not spun to right.... p.s. i never tried the stock carb, it may be fine not sure....
I'll buy one and see what I end up with. Might even get here before the bike, which would be awesome. I still have the stock carb on my Vader and honestly it does okay. I may or may not try using the stock on the x22.
