I'm still with those settings. I haven't been into the higher mph to know if I need to go >108 on the main yet. The 45 slow (pilot) is fine.

Your welcome. The thread is getting kinda long. I've been toying with the idea of putting together a condensed version, starting at the beginning, cut and paste just the "good stuff" to a file, and posting the file...

Those of you that had the rear sprocket bolt/stud break, what sprocket size (teeth) were you running at that time?

Ive found the 110 "OK" but still lean wide open on highway with the forward facing in airstream airfilter , looking at a 130 :O

Found replacement rear sprocket studs.

OMG Alleycat you are the man!

Have you tried this rod yet? How is the fit and quality compared to the original?

Great information - thanks Kat - your last couple of posts will be a great reference for all current and future DF motorheads...

Hi from Greenville SC. Just ordered my bobber from Great Sports in Joliet IL. Can't wait to get it. I sold my old shovelhead bobber years ago and really miss riding. I like the old school single cylinder look. All they had in stock was the silver and blue. I figure I'll do away with the front fender and paint the rear flat black. I have an old 70's sporty tank ready to put on. Hopefully it won't be too hard to fit on. I also went ahead and ordered drag bars and new grips for it and shopping for a seat. I don't think I'll mess with the motor much as it looks pretty good the way it is. Wish it had a kickstart though.
