Just yanked mine after 3000 miles or so. Looks rich but let me know what all think? Not sure the jets I have. Left is front cylinder.

What jets are you running right now?

Im not sure. I am changing my intake seals and will have to remove the carb and will look and let you know.

The rear plug is burning super lean.
Likely due to an intake leak.
Once that is fixed it looks as though you are running rich at idle and lean elsewhere.

I am planning on changing intake seals this weekend and will install new plugs. How long should I run the new plugs before posting again for your approval?

Do several runs..... 50, 100, 300, 500 etc Miles? Check them after a good first run of 50+ Miles.
And post pics.

Air bleed-see pic
I have D&M spike air cleaner with Vance & Hines radius pipes & baffles
I replaced all the seals from the air cleaner back to the manifold seals. Should have no intake leaks now. Also put new plugs in her. I will post picks of how they are looking later. Didn't get to ride today.
Air bleed pic:
I am guessing I have a .040 as my G Carb doesn't have the right serial # for the inter changeable one. See the attached pics of my carb.

Do what Franco did with his spike air cleaner.
Go to an 80 and go to a 50 bleed.
You will have to drill and tap your bleed but its no biggie to do.
Just use grease on the drill and tap when you do it to keep debris out of the carb.

Ok. I've never drilled a carb before and I don't want to f**k it up so what is the best way to do this and what size drill bit should I use to get to a 50 on the air bleed?

The jets are 5/16-24 threads.
17/64 bit, drill through to the passage beneath.
Carefully tap the hole and your good to go.
Alternately you could simply drill the air bleed hole to 3/64 which would give you a .05 air bleed also.
Either way use grease to catch all the debris.
