Here are some links for the carb mod...I assumed it was the Keihin CV carb.

Thanks. I have already been to both of these sites. I was just talking to a friend and he seems to think that I have some sort of internal leak in my carb as my mileage is really low. So it seems a full carb rebuild will be in order but i gotta say with the way it runs I have no complaints with th mileage I am getting.

I got some pics of the stealth bear traps for you to see. You can see how they rotate like bicycle pegs too.

Cool

I like what you've done with the FXDXT. I used the calipers from the XR1200. Looks great.

I'm in the same range and it seems I should get way better but it is what it is. Didn't get a chance to put the 190 main in last night. Maybe today after work. I know part of it is the way that I ride. I can't keep my hand off the throttle. I also ordered a set of the stealth bear traps from DK for my highway pegs yet]sterday. They should be here by the end of the week. I'll reevaluate fuel mileage when this tank gets near empty. At least 3/4 of my mileage right now is freeway to and from work.

So I finally got a good pic of my DK Customs coil relocation with the cut to fit spark plug wires. Mileage was about the same before which is what leads us to believe something is wrong.
