If you are asking about the fuel fittings, Partzilla shows them as still available, so they should also be available from Webike and CMSNL.

Something noteworthy, especially since you'll have them all apart, is to check the "coasting" diaphragm (x4) one on each carb. The membrane can get brittle or mushy causing weird behavior down low in RPMs. These were unique Mikuni BS34's and used exclusively on the J and ELR 1000's.

Other things that might help. More often then not you'll find the choke plunger "bellows are rock hard or in multiple pieces of what remains, part number is 16012-1010 X4. You might not want to delve this far but each carb casting contains "shaft seals", one each side. While Kawasaki never offered this seal Suzuki did, part number 13651-51010. Kawasaki nor Suzuki made these carbs, Mikuni did! And lastly, be careful when removing the choke rod, two tiny singular bearings and two springs, #2 and 3 carbs noted in blue marker in picture.     Pulling the rod out too fast you'll loose the balls. These are essential to keep index or the choke plungers will be floating around and your fuel mixture will always be too rich. Just some stuff to think about before diving in.
