What is the max # of turns recomended on the mixture screws?  Mine are at 3 now and it still feels just a bit lean.  I need to put washers on the needles but one of the screws is stripped cant reach with vise grips so until i fix that I was going to adjust the screws some more...

"FEELS LEAN" ?????  Check smell, and plugs.. This would give you a better ed-ju-mak-a-ted guess, Than "Feels".
Current project:
Mmotos full body kit (YOU DONT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM... READ MY THREAD BOOT STATE UPDATE)
K&N Lunchbox
Buddah's jets
CBR F2 rearsets
Ducati pass pegs (Modified)
Kat rear wheel
Carbon Fiber Exhaust Can, possibly shortened and relocated
And so on......

Might have to be more specific.

Feels lean where?

For example: I added a K&N lunchbox and it was ok on the low end but really lean on the mid-high end.  Went up to a larger jet and it was fine at full throttle and low throttle but mid was really lean.  So I added 2 washers (total of 3 now) to raise the needle and it is 90% better.  Still lean in the mid; so I need to go up on the main and drop a washer or two.  Mixture screws have been left at 3 with no issues.

I get just a hint of surging at about 7000+ rpms 75-85mph.  Not a lot, I mistook it for wind the first couple times I rode, but Im pretty sure it is surging some.  The power is nice and smooth all the way through.  It makes kind of a rumbling popping sound on decel, not sure if this is normal or not my car with a borla system on it made a similar sound. 

I cant tell by looking at the plugs they look just the same as they did before I put the new can and filter on.

Smell?  I havent smelled gas or anything not sure what I am supposed to smell.  Didnt know you could tune a carb by nose.

20-65-147.5, no washers yet 3 turns mix screws

so back to my original question is 3 turns out the max you should go?  sheesh, I know its a litte lean thats not what I was asking.

Well ... washer it ... 7K and 75 mph is not air screw ...
Sorry ... I sent you the kit didn't I ... and you got 65 mids ... sorry no real answers here I am yet to locate the right washers ... how about you stuff an O ring or a couple wraps of sewing thread under that plastic spacer. Its just gotta lift ~1/2 mm ... true cloth string will work plenty ... sorry.
Cool.

I drilled the washers out to fit, as soon as I get that part that I broke from the dealer I will let you know how it works.  i am starting with one washer each.
