I don't know a shaZam! about Texas, but rode a 300 miles trip to the beach and back, from an elevation of 7,500 with peaks of 10,000 ft to sea level with stock jetting, pipe and filter, only noticed more punch on the sea level but bike performed well all the time, now with lunchbox and 150 mains mileage dropped from 18 km/l to 14 and bike smells funny, and has a lot of flat spots and full throtle issues, then changed to 145 mains, better mileage, still flat spots...

that sounds like a case of improper jet selection.

I have the 01+ carbs so it's a little different, but my jet sizes are in the signature & the bike runs sweeet

that is with pods & the stock exhaust.

before that I ran without rejetting for a few weeks & the bike SUCKED!

when I was actually rejetting I was running a little bit rich before I fine-tuned everything, and that was very boggy as well... but a different kind of bogg. Once the proper jets are selected, the needle is shimed properly (on your carbs) and the mixture screws are set right, the bike will run great.

http://www.imotorgear.com has lunch box filters (RU-2970) on special for US$24.38

Was going to pick one up myself till I found out shipping to Australia was nearly US$60!!! 

So yeah, its a good deal for you Americans if their local sipping prices are reasonable.
