Larry,
I found the same thing with the short TORs. 125 main jets actually work better than 130s. But you should definitely try the TBS needles, they fatten up the mid range nicely. Right now I am running Short TORs, Uni-filter, drilled airbox, 125 main jets, TBS needles with 1 shim, 3 1/2 turns. That combo is working pretty well.
I may try Thruxton needles to see if there is any positive or negative difference. We will see.
