Just wondering if anyone knows whether I'll need tank spacers to install a Mikuni vm26 carb on my bike. If I do need to lift the tank, does the kit come with spacers?

Yes you will need risers

Go to your hardware store and find some instead of paying for some aftermarket ones.

cheap sockets at the discount tool store would probably do the trick

I used an old 1 1/2 inwheel spacer and cut it in half, worked really well.
