Bryant,

Here are your pics:

This is what a USA OEM needle (on the right) looks like  versus an
aftermarket needle, such as a Factory or Dynojet needle (left). Notice
the grooves in the aftermarket needle so you can put the clip in
various positions, lowering or raising the needled as needed.

Also, if you happen to have a Dynojet kit installed, they supply their
own jets, which are different sizes than Mikuni sizes. You can tell
the different in two ways - the size is stamped in a small, round font
and the bottom of the jet, as pictured here, is flat.

Here's a genuine Mikuni small round main jet. Notice the size stamped
into the "head" that's in a largish, square font:

My camera is a piece of junk and I have no patience to fiddle with it
right now but this will give you an idea.
