Topic: 1973 CB350F top speed?

At 235lbs, you are not helping. Not a 350 but a CB400F, I could only get 97mph on a GPS with 150lbs. Stock jets were lean at wot but good everywhere else. One size richer and it's too rich everywhere except WOT. No plug reading witchcraft. This is on an AEM wideband on a junk muffler.

I’ll try riding naked to shave a few pounds. I suspected as much on the jetting / Im leaving it stock. I have no desire to ride >60 on my country farm roads…just want to be able to say the bike runs at peak capability. I have the carb completely broke down & cleaned awaiting orings to reassemble, + a new Dekelvic exhaust that I hope will get her back to top form. My excess weight will take a lil longer😅

I'm 230lbs. and love small bikes. 
The wind out here is very strong and seems to come from all directions at the same time;I need to slide back on my seat and duck-down out of the wind to gain top speed and I've grown accustomed to riding around 'tucked' 90% of the time.   
I also have a little fairing which I tuck behind to cut through the wind a bit better.
