Dave, those are RSs, but you need to find out how big they are. Most people here are using RS36s, but these could be 32, 34, 36, 38 or 40mm. You can use any of them but the 36mm ones seem to be particularly well suited to Laverda triples, even more so with a few upgrades like better ignition and exhausts. Good price if they're in good nick.
But be careful. Definitely not "mint condition", they have been mounted on a bike for some time (judging by the oily crud all over everything), the float bowl screws have been replaced with Allen screws so they've probably been apart a few times, all the little overflow tubes are missing. I don't see anything obviously busted/bent/missing but there may be a reason for the price being so low
. On the other hand you could probably sell them again if there's anything wrong, just clean them up a bit. They will almost certainly benefit from a bit of ultrasonic tank time anyway.

Hi Dave
I have had those carbs on my eBay watch list for a while, seller did not respond to my enquiry asking him to confirm what carb size and whether he would ship to Canada.
the seller being in Bulgaria freaked me out a bit, but he has excellent feedback, and that starting price would be a smoking deal if they are RS 36's, just 12 hours left to go as I post this.
as the seller didn't respond to my enquiry, I won't be bidding (maybe he just doesn't want to deal with shipping to Canada, who knows), but good luck in your bidding if you can find out or figure out what size they are.
