Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback! I believe I'm going to have to take the carbs completely off for this job. Here's why: I got the bike last year from the dealer, brand new, with the Two Brothers slip-ons. I don't know if they have already shimmed the needles at the dealer when they put on the slips. I figured taking the carbs off and taking the needles out with the carbs on the side will make sure that if there are washers in there, they don't get lost. I don't think it would be that easy to tell with the carbs in the bike. Or I could be wrong?
Either way. This weekend's plan is to first shim the needles and clear the idle mixture plugs. See how she rides and make sure everything is good after about 50 miles of riding.
Then, I will adjust the idle mixture using the Wiki method. Ride it around and see make sure everything is good. Then, I'll sync the carbs.
Now I just need some nice weather for Sat/Sun.
