Hey Weldangrind,
Sorry for the long delay. Busy summer so far but I'm looking to invest more time in this to get ready to ride for later this summer into the fall.
In NH I'm anywhere between sea level and 1500' above it. Would you recommend changing the stock Mikuni jets and does it make a difference whether I'm at 200' 500' or 1500' ? I plan on taking the bike through the state to different elevations and want to plan accordingly.
There were two hoses that connected to the air box before and I'm not sure where those should go now?

If you optimize jetting at sea level, it'll be fine to 2000 feet. If you continue to climb, it'll probably refuse to run around the
6000 foot mark. I like to use a #30 slow jet at sea level; it makes it a bit tough to start in hot weather, but it's easier when it cools off. A 115 main should do the trick for you.
Show us where those two hoses lead. I'm guessing that one goes to the crankcase vent and the other to the AIR valve, but I'd like to be certain.
The video you linked is for a pushrod motor, but that doesn't matter. Just follow the instructions blanc12 provided and let us know how it worked for you. I'll add that it's easier to turn the motor with a breaker bar and socket than it is to use a ratchet. Also, only turn the motor counter-clockwise, as viewed from the left side. When you line up the T mark in the viewing hole, you should be able to wiggle the rockers. If not, turn the engine one more complete rotation.
