I still need to work on the idle setting. It takes a few before it will idle on it's own. (on a 95 degree day). And if I put the choke on, it loads up. I'm at 3.75 turns out. Gonna try 4. Anyone have luck turning the screws with the carbs still on. Looks real tight.

Yes just use a screwdriver bit and a cheap dental mirror from a drugstore.

Yeah I got a bit of a boost too in MPG with the 110 mains. The bike is breathing better so it doesn't have to work as hard. However with the 112.5's I think it went back down. Also I'm a little heavier on the throttle now!
