Having never messed with motorcycle carbs and normally only working on cars I was going to forfeit my mechanical prowess and send my carbs out for a clean and rejet. With the site being down I got a little impatient and ordered a jet kit. When it came I figured screw it I'll give it a go. Using the write ups and literature from this site everything worked out for the best! :cheers: Threw in some 145 mains and some washers up top, freed my float needles and adjusted the prong (one was bent because it was stuck: cause of my bogging issue). I had some rust flakes in the fuel tank so I had to flush that out. Surprisingly there wasn't much rust in the float bowls but I added an in-line fuel filter also. 3 turns out on the screws and she's breathing! I need to address some additional issues with the bike before I register it (fork seals, tach cable leak) but I'm well on my way. Thanks GStwiners for the writeups and info! if anyone has advice for me let me know. :)

Sweet!
My advice would be to get it legal and go RIDE IT!
I assume you have non-stock exhaust/intake since 145 would be big for stock I think.
Have you been able to tune the carbs and make sure your adjustments are good yet?
Actually I have a stock intake and stock pipe. I was planning on using aftermarket soon though. Seems to be running fine with the stock stuff right now though.... O0
