This is what I was thinking, someone might have jetted the bike already.

Yeh +1 on the fact that its probably already been rejetted since the pipes have been changed. It also depends on the air cleaner you get. If you think its running lean just adjust the screw on the cv carb it should work fine. I switched out my mufflers and my air cleaner to a hypercharger and my bike didnt need to be re jetted. When its cold out below 50 i just adjust my carb a little when the weather warms up i adjust it down. Took it to a mechanic who has been working on bikes for 40 yrs plus and he said it was fine no need to rejet.
