also get some Alan screws for the float bowl... it will make changing jets easier in the future... AND the guys over a CV-P have some great products and offer Factory sized jets! I had a CV-P kit on my sporty it ROCKED! and their kit includes ALLAN screws for the float bowl.

Thanks for the advice! I ordered the EZ-Just screw and hardware yesterday. I'll add the kit to my list to get the other replaceables!

when installing the ez just screw be careful not to screw it in hard, there is a seat in the carb. that will get messed up if you torque the screw to tight...also there is a spring and something else in there (I forget what, maybe a ball) that will fall out and be lost if you are not careful....the jets and the carb. bowl screws are tight as sh*t and you may be better off just removing the carb from the intake to get the screws and jets out without messing anything up..carb is easy to take off, just a few screws, the fuel line the enrichener (choke) and a vacuum line, you can leave the throttle cables attached and just work near the bike...

I agree, it might be good for racing or for hopped up motors that don't pull a lot of vacuum etc. but for the day to day rider they don't make life easier...

DO you know of any relatively detailed instructions/photos/vids of how to do the full removal? I'm concerned about the spillage of fuel and whether I need to clamp things off on the fuel line to keep gas from streaming out of the tank after I've removed the hose from the carb.
