Thanks for all the info guys (and for the great tutorial dinqua!) I got my carbs cleaned out, put back together and it runs great! Also, I learned that my bike looks a whole lot better without the pillion seat and sissy bar. At first when i started it back up, I thought I was in for a whole lot of trouble as the bike sounded strangely horrible but ended up that I disco'd the air hose that runs from the box to under the tank and didnthook back up the tank side, a quick fix and big relief! Now, off to the highway!
