I was perusing ebay in search of xs stuff when I came accross the CV needles you've made.

y bike is a bit old to take advantage, but I hope the best for you and your venture.

Truly,

Eric M.

I purchased Johns needles and found them a breeze to put in and the instructions were clear for this uber-dummy to follow... I am now ready to put them on the bike but that will probably be postponed till friday night or sat morning...

yep... did all the mods suggest the 135mj and the 45pilot with his needles.. The carbs I got had already been cleaned really good by Roy (whom I purchased them off of) but I cleaned them a couple times. I also put the allen screws as suggested.. I actually like the allen screw look so much I have used it on several other items as well Ace hardware loves me....
