Swest- thanks for the link I might have to try one of those out.

After a cew rides on the road I checked the plugs and they were turing white, so I pulled the carbs last night at put 105 mains in, I also opened up the idle scres 1/4 turn to help woth cold starting. Went for a ride on the interstate today with a ferocious head wind, the 1300 pulled to about 100 like it was nothing. The wind was pretty nasty so I got back into town and rolled in home.

I need a phone app to see how fast Im going because that stupid 85 mph speedo is useless...
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

Nice job. I'm with you when it comes to green and black on a Kawasaki. There is just something so right about it.
