88 vs1400.. What shall I do with her..

[BRONX INTRUDER]

Thanks brother.. I hope so. haha.

Here's where I'm at now..




I opened up the front carb and will be doing the rear tomorrow. It had some red kinda sediment in the bowl and then the top diaphragm area had some black fuzz-dust.. lol. I know that had to be the air-filter that got sucked in.




Anyways; what else I found was a 125 front jet.. stock I believe and the needle has 6 notches in it. To count down.. does the clip sit on the highest notch (not being considered a position) and then moving once down would be called the 1st notch and once more be called the 2nd notch etc?

I see no markings on the needle so don't know what brand it is either.

Does this help?

Hm, halfway helps. haha. Thank you. So each slot is a numbered spot. But my needle has 6 slots. That's the odd part. I have no stock needle to compare to now since I sold my other set of carbs. lol. That needle has a pointed top kinda where mine has a flat top too. No visible markings on it. Anyone ever seen these? Wondering what notches would equal the ones of the needle you posted pic of..

[BRONX INTRUDER]

Think I figured it out.. Seems it's a DynoJet Needle.

I was going to say, looks like the Cobra needle. The Cobra kit specifies re-drilling the slide lift air hole with a 7/64" drill bit. You may want to see if a 7/64" drill bit fits in that hole. Or inspect the hole to see if it shows signs of being drilled. The instruction also state to place the e-clip on the 3rd notch if running open exhaust (drag pipes) ir on the second notch of running stock mufflers. There are no jets in the kit, all you get is the 2 needles.

Yeah, weird. I wonder what they would suggest for pod filters and drags.

Not that kit. I hear the best results have been achieved with the factory pro stage 3 kit, which is what I have. Well, I have the Cobra kit too, just never going to install it. Wasted money there, for sure.

I think I found a set of stock needles I can just get washers for and shim them. Think I'll do that cuz I'm pretty sure these needles will be too rich with bumping up the jets and rather not go thru the nonsense. lol. I'll save the cobra jets for when someone needs a stage 1. lol.

[BRONX INTRUDER]

Welp.. I guess I didn't put an update here on this one.. lol.

I stripped her down completely and painted the frame and tins a satin black.
The head covers Anodized Red.
Picked up a bigger tank and going to see if I can make mounts for it.

Here are some pics..

Oh boy! Looks like it's happening. Nice going so far. We'll wanna see the end work.
