    FYI,

    Plan on lottttttts of carb tuning........ not trying to kill a sale, but if your up for the task that's great. Many post's here end up going back to a factory setup. D@mn..... fell like a post'in fool tonight. Is everyone else out riding???

      I have to disagree, with conditions. If you try to do your jetting by buying individual jets and playing around with them you'll be in for lottttttts of carb tuning. If you buy the K&N or Dynojet (they are the same) kit it isn't that bad at all. I did my '83 1100E, followed the instructions, and all I had to do was raise the needles a couple notches. There is plenty of information around here to get you close on the first try.

      Thanks,

        Agreed, a jet kit will get you in the ballpark right off the bat. After that it's just a matter of a little tweaking.

          I'm having the carbs rebuilt by wiredgeorge and he is going to jet them for pods.

            Ok, good deal. I was looking at the DynoJet kits and noticed they include a slide drill, glue, and plug. Aside from the jet choices and needle position, what are the other mechanical mods? Does the JetKit render the carbs forever changed?
