Great info Hondaman(as usual). My 75 K as far as I know is internally butt stock. I have done alot of work on it since I bought it in 2000 and moved it from 5000 ft. to sea level. I bought it in Wyoming April 2000 with 14K miles. Here it is getting on to 8 years later and I just cracked 20K last week!!!! I would entertain your comments on newer electronic ignition and also CR carbs. I have the Dyna 2000 but still runnin stock carbs (138.5 mains-needle at 2nd from top.....almost lean). I guess I'm starting to feel a little envious after the surge of bookoo buck overhauls recently (Sean,Sparty, Gordon,Sam,etc.).My overall plan at this time is to keep this one running as much as possible and find me one to tear apart and put back. I don't care if it takes a few years to do but I want it to be powerful,clean,and of course....very carefully thought out....
That jetting seems strange to me.
At this altitude, I'm running 100 mains with the needles at 2nd from bottom notch. This setting works very well on 85-87 octane with X24 plugs, slowly fouls D8 plugs. Running in the middle notch makes it just barely lean at 3/4 throttle, and the acceleration is less, noticeably. At 2nd notch from top, it hesitates on acceleration and 3/4-to-full throttle comes on like a shot when the needle clears the jet. (Fun, but not quite right, feels like a Kaw Blue Streak coming "on pipe" when it's that way
).
How did it come to this jetting?
