Lectrons are the only carb I have seen with a clear bowl.

Plastic bowls arent without their problems though.

Are you wanting one for the "cool" factor or for setting the float height?

^ that's cool.
Not a terrible price to pay to check fuel level/float height is spot on. I'd put the metal one back on after checking.

2006 KLX 250 w/351 big bore. A well-sorted dual sporter.

The clear bowl isn't going to really help you with setting the float. The fuel level should be 0-2mm above the carb body-bowl mating surface.

This is how I mimicked the factory approach to setting the float: setting float

Related, but off-topic. Has anybody else heard/confirmed the rumor that Keihin may be ending production on Airstriker/PWKs?

Clear fuel line and a couple nipples on 90's from the top and bottom of the float bowl would make an easy to see anytime gauge.
