    Also I heard thru the grapevine that some members would rebuild my carbs for a good price(one guy wants 560 plus shipping and another wants 50 a carb) lol any help would be appreciated I'm trying to build my dream bike but on a budget.

      Well you can redo them yourself for around 90 bucks or so with new orings and new bowl gaskets. Im gonna ost a list of links so check them out.









      Be sure to refresh the intake manifold orings as shwon on page 3 of Cycleorings website. Measure the INSIDE diameter of the oring groove but I thin k yours will be 38MM. Look in the menu at Bikecliff for a service manual.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          I guessed at if it was an E model.................

          And back to the jetting question. see what the stock ones are per the parts fiche and got up two on the main and 1 on the pilot...least thats what most folks here seem to like as a starter point.

              Need a little more information about your pipe and pods.

              Knowing that it's a "4 into 1" is great, but what happens after the collector? Megaphone with street baffle? Megaphone with competition baffle? No baffle? (Shame on you. ) Those choices will affect air flow, therefore, jetting requirements.

              As far as "pods", are they the cheap EMGO pods that cost about $25? UNI (foam) pods? APE pods? K&N pods? Again, these choices affect air flow, and to a greater degree than exhaust choice.

              There are many members of the forum that have had Chuck rebuild their carbs and are very happy with his work. I also do carbs, but not so much with the VM carbs like yours. I recommend Chuck for your rebuild.

                Thanks for the endorsement Steve. I try to be as helpful as I can. I always recommend doing them yourself so the new guys can learn a new skill. However if my service is needed I am here.
