You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Haha, good luck Sds hope it rips... Probably still lean but it should surely run much better for sure.

Vacuum Carb Sync will get you there.  Inconsistent idle and pods go hand and hand.  Especially hanging idle.  Also make sure you find a way to hold the carbs level.  Carbs with pods ten to sag on the side towards the rear of the bike.  The stock ones have the airbox to support them.  This causes weird fuel levels in the bowls and can cause problems down the road.

Did you set float height on all carbs when you were in there? If you have the 74-75 carbs they are 22mm.

Here's a stupid question.  Is your MAX WOT limiter set in such a way that you can't achieve near WOT?  There should be a 10mm hex head with an offset peg that limits travel.  Make sure it isn't limiting your full potential.
