We might have to go to the VM26 carbs just to make the bikes useable in the cold weather! Glad your like it!
The last couple of mornings have been below 30F here, and today was 19F.

The bike starts with no problem on full choke, but I need to leave it for at least three minutes on half choke. It will not throttle up until it's warmed.
