I have some parts from 1st generation carbs, but not a complete set that would bolt on and run. What are you looking for?

There in lies my problem, The fuel mix screw tips broke on both and lodged up in the carbs. I've had some fairly qualified people make some attempts at repair and the final statement from both is. "They're f%&ked bud, time to find some new ones". With roughly 6 weeks left in the riding season here, I'm finding it very difficult to justify buying new ones. I'm open to any suggestions

It helps to know where you are. Your location is not in your profile.

The bottoms should be the same as 2004+ carbs - they're the same 3 jet carbs. I think only difference is 2004+ has throttle position sensor and lots of farkled up vacuum hoses off the caps.
