Well today was the first ride and I beat it up pretty good trying to find flat spots in throttle response and the filters stayed put...I'd of never bet on it, but just as you guys stated, a little snug is all ya need.
Now I have tio fidd;e with some things to get the carbs dialed in. I get a backfire through the carbs every now and again when I'm sitting at idel and rev it a tad. I started with 42/135 and no shims, but let the mixture screw alone...maybe a half a turn in will do it....we'll see tomorrow.
