As a point of interest (for me anyway), my son's 1980 XR200 has a Keihin 30mm carb that is identical to the Mikuni in almost every way. There are some subtle manufacturing differences, but they're obviously spec'd for the same application.
Knowing that, I took the bowl off of the Keihin today, and found a 108 main jet inside. My recommendation to anyone that is installing a Mikuni on a Beast is to start at that level and work your way up, depending upon stock vs. performance exhaust and air filter. I intend to install a 110 on T's Beast this weekend, so we'll see how it performs.

Sure, I've got a fire extinguisher.

Imagine the lovely smoke from the camo / orange / whatever plastic. I'll bet I could see it from my house.

Weldandgrind, can you tell me how much you got the performance exhaust for your 125cc for. John has them on back order, so it will be coming soon.

The 125cc might work if I weld it though. I know that including shipping costs the item ends up being $30 but if I buy other items then I can obviously save on shipping. :P

On most items the shipping (Ontario) jumps from 18 bucks to maybe 20 bucks if you add another item, then 22, then 24 or 25, etc.

I'm not sure it has anything to do with multiple items, more about the box size or weight needed for the extra items. I got quoted 13 for shipping for the Monster exhaust, added two CDI's for W&G and the shipping never changed since they fit in the same sized box easily. |

Thats because for live in BC. We live in ON. I don't get why the shipping price increases when you can ship an item using UPS for $18 for up to 5lbs. That means you can put as much items as you can until it reaches 5lbs.
