You do now the air jets need to be reduced for a just off idle lean flat spot, so you may just as well fix that right way if not already done. That is a Randell tip and can be done with the carbs on the bike. Sorry if you already did that.

Ok, I'm done. Hah, we are never done. What I mean is that I'm done working on her because I'm riding her. Off idle/low throttle problem cause has been identified and mostly fixed so I will not be adding anything else to this thread. Thanks to all who have assisted in numerous ways!
