Has anybody tried this?
Since the slide needles aren't adjustable on this bike I thought this mod might help some.

The Dyno Jet kit needles have a great profile, and the instructions also call for drilling the holes in the slides.

Can I get just the dyno jet needles alone? I've already got 127.5 mains and #40 pilots.

Are there any stock needles that are adjustable and /or have some kind of taper to the tip?

Here is a thread on the Mikuni needles that are very close to the 5GX29 a 5 clip adjustable needle used in the KZ1100-A non-US models. Sounds like the ticket. Let us know how it werx for you!
Good post Motor Head!!!

If you don't have a #37 or can't find one, we use a 7/64 drill bit on our CVK slides. #37 is .104 , and the 7/64 is .109 dia. 1/8 is .125.
I'd rather have it too small than too large. If you go too big, you can close it back up with epoxy then drill it with a smaller bit if you need to.

+1 what he said You beat me to it Motor head
I have a set of needles out of an ELR 1000 that look like straight rods with a bevel on the end that goes in the jet :woohoo: Dang those things are L E A N !! :lol:
