Turns out the bike has been jetted, but not with a K and N jet. It is the Keihin jet number 152. The idle mixture screw has been drilled out. Having been happy with the performance thus far, I left it alone. When I was installing the Supertrapp pipe getting the disc in place was a pain in the arse. My first thought was to install six disc, but one of the short screw would not make contact in the hole, hate when that happens. Ended up stripping the end of the screw. So I went with the maximum number of disc, I think 12 and the long screws. Will rethread the stripped screw tommorrow in case the pipe is too loud.

The vaccum port had not been drilled, but I thought about drilling it. Not sure what would happen without upgrading the spring as well. What do you think? Mick A10

http://www.hotspringsenthusiast.com/Idaho.htm Go to this site, search for Horse Creek Hot Springs. If you click on it, it will bring you to Topozone, or it has the coords if you have DeLorme or some other mapping program. I don't have the paper map, and I'm running Linux and would have to reboot to bring up DeLorme, but if you're heading to ID, it's a right at the pass. There is a little 'campground' near the springs and it can get a little rowdy at night. The Cathedral fire in 2002 was a couple of miles away and I haven't been down since so I don't know what shape the area is in. Happy soaking. I went hot spring hunting down in CA about 15 years ago and most of them out in the Owens Valley were history. Did that ever get any better or is LA still sucking it dry?
