Default 2 quick questions - 09 250sf

I just have 2 quick questions.

1. Today I started to install my edge kit and I noticed that the bike looks a lot better without the tool pouch. I put the bolts back in without the pouch and I just want some opinions on if it looks good or not.

2. I got a fmf megabomb for christmas and I love it so far. With just a slip-on and a twin air filter I jetted the carb with the 128 jet, I'm just wondering if I should step up to a larger jet because of the megabomb or just let it go.

I usually run without the tools also and I just leave the holes open but yours looks fine that way. The 128 is probably fine. You shouldn't be too lean anyway.

I took my pouch off first thing. Then I went to the motorcycle parts dept at Ace hardware and got those little plastic hole plugs. Works and looks great.

Thanks for the input!
I think I'll leave it as is, I don't really have a use for the tools and it looks 10 times better now than it did with the pouch.

I think the only reason I keep the pouch on is to have a place to keep the registration but now that I think about it I really don't need "all" that weight up there.

I bought a license plate stash box for my SF. It's great for the registration.

I have an inside pocket on my jacket that's perfect for registration and insurance card.

Put the black automotive plastic body plugs in the holes. It will be very clean looking.
The contrasting silver bolts look terrible.
Just my .02,, don't be a hater now. you asked right???
