    After clean-up, most (sometimes all) parts are reusable unless obviously worn or damaged.
    Hundreds of $$$ could be spent unnecessarily replacing parts that are working fine.
    Dealer service shops don't usally replace parts unless obvious damage is apparent.

    Thanks 4 all the help,These carbs look like they haven't been touched since 1987,And when the bike was purchased back in july,They actually had water in them (The bike was stored outside for a little while),And because of those things,I thought i would just rebuild them just to be on the safe side.
