Thats about where you want it, and yes this damn heat today and tomorrow. Just got back from Bike week in Laconia and my front rocker cover gasket on my harley decided to let go....oh well i have a spare on hand , but am not going to touch it till it cools down. I got the Hawk to ride if i feel the need for wind therapy...

going to order the vm26 mikuni carb an a jet kit any thoughts on this ,this week i plan to do further mods the air box with few more air holes ,also adjust the valves ,check spokes an wheels true ,in the weeks to come i plan to buy the full exhaust unless my buddie talks me into moding the stock one,may just take the baffle out when the better carb gets hear ,i want to do like 16 tooth in front with like 43 in back with 100 link chain ? wich chain should i get ,dont plan on pounding the bike in the woods or the street ,i know there is like exact ways some guys are doing things that i can do ,but i feel like the 45 tooth an the 17 tooth the 17 tooth will be to big ,mabey thoughts ideas thank you very much in advance .
oh gas gauge does not work an seems the speedo may be off some ,i feel its pretty commen on the bikes from factory

The stock exhaust is restricted by the cat inside it, there is a thread on here on how to cut and remove the cat. As for the carb the mikuni is a good upgrade, i have it but am still waiting on some pilot jets to arrive to dial it in, with all the mods i am running a 120 main and 25 pilot, i do have the airbox mod with a K&N filter but will soon be changing that to a pod filter instead.
