Jetting-Runs Great!

 Just thought I would post this in case anyone was interested.
I bought my bike about 16 months ago and soon after I pulled the carbs down and cleaned them, shimmed the needles and changed the jetting - as I also installed a Vance & Hines exhaust and pod filters. Put everything back together and
sinc-ed the carbs. Bike ran very good but was a little rough off idle. Played around with the pilot jets, idle screws and the shim thickness (needle height) re sinc-ed the carbs several times but could not get rid of the low rpm roughness - nothing real bad but enough to get annoying sometimes.
Decided to buy the Dynojet kit and new imulshion tubes. Pulled carbs down cleaned and installed the kit and tubes, set float height. All I can say is HUGE improvment. Bike is smooth as glass from 900 to 9000 rpm and pulls like a freight train. IMO was well worth the money spent.
