Yes that seems to tally number wise, also on the lower front left side of the barrels it has 998cm…..

carbs are measured on the engine side, theyre all vm32, though back in the day, plenty were bored out biger to flow better. if you put your calipers on the airbox side you can get a measurement of 33mm, but theyre probably 32's and you should be able to see if theyve been bored out.
having said that, well worth having cos a set of vm32's in good nick will fetch £500 plus on their own.
