Wish I could help Nick but I don't know crap about Dynojet kit's except they are over priced. 
Whick K & N filte did you get?

This is what I have
Wileyco exhaust

Pilot 22.5,
Mid 65 ,
Mains 147.5,
Mixture screw 3.5 turns out
I have not had anyproblems with this setup yet.  Not sure how the dynojet's are numbered.

What kinda performace are you getting with that set up. 
I want to do this but I searched it and some people are only saying that it only give a 5 hp difference,  It just doesnt seem worth it

        Well I guess it depends on, if your going to race it or not.  If racing, since your putting that much money into it, get a Stage 3.
If your just riding around town or commuting get a Stage 1.  It will save on gas, either way you'll definatly notice a difference!!!!
Have fun when you get her going :thumb:

All that cost less than $200 performance gains?  :dunno_white: Never been to a dyno.  Did it because I like to mess with stuff.   After adding the 5th throttle it makes riding the bike more fun  :icon_mrgreen:

Ok, I think I am going to do this!!!!

but I have a few question as well.

the lunch box filter, and the carbs, I kinda got that.

My quesiton is beceause i have an F model, Id probably ahve to do a slip on, right?

Secondly,  A slip on is where you cut off the can,  then put a nother can in its place?

and how is the slip on put on? Is it welded?

F model doesn't need a slip on to do the K&N lunchbox and rejet.

Slip on is just that, it slips on. On most other bikes the exhaust is a 2 piece design, where the can and midpipe are removeable and replaceable by an aftermarket can and midpipe that slip-on to the old pipe. Since ours is a one-piece design, you need to cut the pipe and weld (or if you have a proper flange, slip) on the new one.

Example of F model full exhaust system is the new Jardine one.  Gives you more gains than the slip on.

Example of slip on for the F would be Sinrath's flange and wileyco.  You get almost no hp gains but better respone.

Full system is more expensive but gives you better performance.
