I’m running stock jets but I opened them up with a torch cleaner, I went up two steps with my torch cleaner if you do that be sure you have everything else dialed. With the exaust I had some Volkswagen pea shooter mufflers I used on a cb550 I built a couple of years ago. I cut the baffels out used about a inch and half of the baffel. After I did that it was running pretty good but it still had a flat spot so I went to the local napa auto parts and got a small exaust pipe adapter 1.5 to 2 inch I think, then I got some 7/8 tubing drilled a bunch of holes in it. I welded the tubing to a big flat washer then I welder it to the exaust adapter I was able to slip the adapter into the pipe it sounded good so I welded it up and it fixed all my air fuel problems. I was very happy how the exaust sounds it does get a bit hot but it looks cool and that’s all that matters.

Thanks for the comments, when I went to check the bike out the guy that had is a well known builder in northern California, he had the seat sitting on the bike so I bought it on and he was cool enough to throw it in.
