Thanks for the input. I took her out today to try and open it up. To me, she has good power throughout the RPMs but seems to pull hard from 7,000 and up. Unfortunately it was raining and a bit windy so I couldn't hear much and didn't go over 70-75 but there was definitely some room still with the throttle. So, I'm hoping with the extra air flow and then 1mm shims will give some of that pull in the low/mid range too. I will update after I try it out. Hoping for tomorrow!!

On another note, the bike only had 1100 miles on it when I bought it but it is obvious the first owner did some work on her, there's a battery tender connection I found under the left side panels. So, I don't know what else has been done to include any carb work.
