EX500 will be my first guess...the second guess is Vulcan 500, followed by rebel 250/nitehwk 250.
Cool.

Just curious from those that have given me their guesses.  Okay I just measured the side where levers are, not really sure about the tech. term but they are 1 5/8 inches across(1.625 inch = 41.275 millimeter).  Checked on a conversion website, then the side where you can see the needles is 2 1/8 inches across(2.125 inch = 53.975 millimeter)  So what would I actually go by as far what people would refer to?  Oh and on the side of these Mikinu's is a etching that is a little hard to see(3F9 00 B117) and on the flap part it has 135.  Thanks for any and all help

Bump,  Okay I did a search on ebay for ex500 and found this set of carbs, they are different then the ones that I have.  Here is the link to the carbs on ebay

Here you can see the difference.

Any more suggestions or thought about what they might be off of.

Are they Keihins? Look like maybe GS450.
