Doug,
I have to diasgree with your rationalization. The difference between the needles is the taper, length and diameter. Yes they are technically "Stock" needles, but you can call every needle made a stock needle using that logic. The differences in the shapes of the needles is what effects the carbs they way they do. Yes, DynoJet makes some fine products, but they are just another type of needle with different tapers/lengths/diameters than the TBS/Thruxton needles, and they have clips in them instead of using shims. They all do exactly what they are designed to do. I have seen and used the DynoJet needles too but I also must agree that they are a bit steep in cost.
But, to each his own. I am glad there are alternatives out there for us besides just the stuff Triumph sells.
