Attached are .jpgs from a magazine article on tuning Keihin butterfly carbs. It's a 6 page article and each post here only allows up to 5 attachments. Look for the 6th part in the next post.

I'm running the OEM butterfly on an '86 FXRS with no problems. It wasn't a bad carb, just misunderstood :-) Yeah, the CVs are a much better option. But my sled is close to the way it rolled out of the showroom and altering it now would be almost criminal. YMMV.
