Now I can read the plugs. I added the vents in the back of the airbox so it looks like I need to put the 127.5's back in. The chart calls for them with pods. With the vents, the box breathes better so it's lean at WOT.

I didn't notice it until I put the vents in the air box.

I posted this on the KZ Market for a guy that said he bench syncs his carbs on all his bikes. I told him he is missing the last step.

Been a realty nice stretch of weather here....expect high of 77 degrees F. today.
Never a dull moment, eh?
I'll bet the tube from #3 gets to vibrating like a mug on those red-line rides you take. Looks like you got #2 tube secured to the adjacent carb body for support.
I'll check and snug down the manifold bolts whenever the carbs are off. They either loosen up a little, or the rubber just gets compressed behind them. Good to check-n-snug the clamps once in a while too.
Love your vids dude...
