That picture honestly doesnt look like a genuine Keihin. They all say Keihin on them. Yours looks like a knockoff with a PWK embossment on it. In fact Ive read about YSN knockoff carbs. Theyre like OKOs (another company that makes knockoff Keihins)

If yours is a Keihin, it will say Keihin right on the area where the slide is. Like this:

And Im only saying this to help you DS. Your carb being a knockoff isnt going to fetch the same price as a genuine Keihin.

Yep Luni is right, there are plenty of rebranded Keihins around now, some even have the embossed "Keihin" on the slide, still not a guarantee of authenticity. To make it easy on this one, I'm almost certain that Keihin never made any 30mm PWK's, if they did make a genuine 30mm I've never seen one. The good knockoffs still run really well. I had one for a while, before using it on I completely disassembled it and filed out all the casting flaws that are more prevalent in cheap castings, couldn't tell any difference after that. The 30mm YSN's are going for about $100 shipped new.
