Now working on adding a pelican topcase, so will stop riding for a few days so I can finish the mounting- then I'll add a few more miles and load it down a bit to see if I still like the gearing. I want to be able to cruise at about 55-60 at RPMs that it can withstand for hours on end.
Runs great with the 110 main jet, but still occasionally stumbles at idle.. still trying to fine tune the pilot screw and now wondering about the needle jet. It's at the midway mark, but thinking about lowering the clip one notch to richen up at idle.. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Your problem is almost certainly the pilot/low speed jet. The needle position is not where to correct idle/slow running problems...ARH
