Finally decided to get around to checking the jets on this DAMN bike...got carb off/out no worries.
Trying to remove screws on the bowel is a fucking disaster...those fuckers are tight and now mostly stripped
Now I gotta take it to the shop and again explain my incompetence and fork over $$ (They are used to me )
I can guess that after the air box was opened and exhaust added that the jets were not changed and that is why bike doesn't run well above 3k and 55-60 mph.
I used vice grips on those stupid screws.
I got the James Dean kit. It came with Allen head replacement screws, much better. The JD kit also came with every combination of jets and needles you will ever need. It has great instructions. It tells you what to do according to your mods.
I still have what's left of the kit. I'll look and see what the instruction suggest for your set up if you want?

Great idea...I just ordered JD kit. Seems best deal and maybe easy for non- carb minded folks like me.
And I did get all screws out using a combination of the above methods. PITA
First, start with the right screwdriver. These are not your father's phillips screws. Get yourself a nice set of JIS screwdrivers. I've been really happy with the Vessel drivers.
A little Screwgrab is nice stuff to have too, but I'm betting a proper sized JIS driver will pull the mangled screws right on out.
