Vulcan CV Carburetor Adapter Kit for Harley/Mikuni

The item consists of a 'CV Carb Adapter' kit manufactured by 'Vulcan' (indicated by the logo on the box) specifically designed to adapt a Harley CV Carburetor or 42mm Mikuni Carburetor to an OEM 2-bolt manifold. The kit is presented in its original small, rectangular cardboard box, which shows signs of shelf wear, including some staining, minor creases, and dirt smudges, indicating it is not new-in-box condition but likely used or old stock. Inside the box, a collection of metal components is visible. These components appear to be various nuts, bolts, spacers, and possibly other small fittings, characteristic of an adapter kit. Some pieces are shinier, likely chrome or polished metal, while others show a darker, possibly anodized or black-coated finish. There is also evidence of slight surface corrosion or discoloration on some of the metal parts, suggesting they are either used or have been exposed to moisture over time. The overall condition of the internal parts ranges from fair to good; while some exhibit wear and minor oxidation, none appear to be severely damaged or unusable. The craftsmanship appears to be industrial standard for aftermarket motorcycle parts, with no obvious signs of poor manufacturing. The visible part number is 'T/B 24-0003' and it states 'USA' for manufacturing origin, along with '8 3150', likely a different internal product number or batch code. Based on the branding and application (Harley-Davidson), the item likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century.
