>THe mod involved taking the #138 front jet and relocating it to
>the rear, and replacing the front with a #144. Well, I used a #145,
>and things worked very nicely.
>
>What I've done:
>
>Jets. #145, #138
>Needles: Shimmed them up 0.033"
>
>Intake: Removed top of airbox.
>
>Exhaust: Supertrapp helps out greatly. Total of about 15 traps
>at 4500 feet altitude.
>
>Total benefit: Overall improvement in throttle response, better
>power at all levels. (not a major improvement, but noticable)
>I am receiving the same power now at this altitude that I was
>getting at sea level without the mod.
>
>Mileage: Remarkably good. Unfortunately, I've only tested during
>a very hard ride (trying to keep up with RR's and F2's is still a
>challenge). So far, tho, using the bike WFO at speeds in excess
>of 100mph for about 120 miles, I'm getting about 50mpg. Not too
>shabby.
>
>I believe I still need to take out the pilot jets a notch (turn) or
>two, but I don't have the time right now. Gotta fix the cages first.
>
>Anyway, I hope this helps out someone else. Thanks to whomever
>posted the original idea. Brilliant!
>
>Oh, BTW, the total thing cost me $3.21. Not including the screw up
>Honda made the first time by giving me a #145 for the wrong carbs.
