What Brand of Carb is on Stock 85 GS?

Hey guys,

Who made the stock carb on the '85 GS? I'm needing to do a rebuild and know absolutely nothing about it. I can get the rebuild kit from Victoria British, but I'm thinking I could use a good set of instructions. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I'm going to have to change my user name as I wrecked and sold my FD. I'm back to my roots with just my beloved '85 GS.

They are Nikki Carbs. They are complicated and heavy. I bought a kit from VB just for the base gaskets and they worked fine.
