2ohm coils are wrong for use with a DYNA S .
They should be 3 to 5 ohms.
2 ohms will run very hot and fail.
What bike is this ?
I may have CV air corrector jets to help cure the off idle bogging that occurs with pods.
Fixed position needles can be adjusted using shims.

I am not claiming this is true of all carbs offered stock on the Kaw bikes, but in general only the bikes intended for the US market make use of the non adjustable needles .  As zed indicated the use of shims can be used for adjustment.  Often times the carbs on non US market bikes do make use of adjustable needles.  You may be able to locate these needles on non US locations selling parts..

I have not done any searching for them so do not mean to indicate there are any out there currently.
