Yep, I wasnt expecting you to launch like a rocket, I thouht I was going to have to take it easy on ya. And you got to figure between my big rear and all the stuff( prettys) on my bike I probably had 200 lbs on ya.
Mine averages between 39 to 42 mpg

Well, after reading everyone's post, it looks like I'm just going to have to roll up my sleeves and get to it. I guess I be doing the exhaust, BAK, ported intake, and add some more chrome. Thanks to everyone for you response. Time to pull the plastic money card out of retirement

You should start a new thread since you are asking a specific carb question.

sorry musky,

my thought was to keep the server unclogged. since this was a thread about mods to the bike, i guess i rationalized the carb as a mod. will do

No need to be sorry. With an other than stock carb question you need to reach the few people who are running the carb you are asking about. They might not be reading this thread anymore.
