I hate to admit it, I added a slip-on

I finally put a few miles on the bike with the new pipe. Didn't touch the carb and still running the stock air box and foam air cleaner.The bike has more acceleration. I blow through the gears so fast, I feel like I'm shifting constantly. I'm still waiting for my DB Killer to arrive from China, but I've grown used to the sound.
I purchased a tail light / signal combo and mounted that over this past weekend, completely removing the stock taillight and signals, really cleaned up the bike, looks more MX. I had to do this since the exhaust pointed directly at the stock signal melted it off the very first mile!

You should go down to the local (Harley) tuning shops and grab a DJ140 or K152 CVK main jet. Simply tilt the carb while on the bike, pull the bowl, put in the jet, yank off the airbox lid, hang on tight!
Old Harleys use CVK's, but use larger jets... still, most tuning shops have "buckets" of these jets...
P.S. Once you feel the power increases - as you mod-up your bike - you'll have to swallow all your older posts chastising power mods... Have no fear, we'll forgive you..

Well, tilting the carb far enough to pull the bowl is not a trivial operation - hoses must be disconnected, throttle cables disconnected, etc, and it is all easier if you pull the fuel tank first...
And if you don't/can't get everything connected back up correctly as it was before you started, your bike will not run, or run right..
