If getting new reeds I would get the new v force 3's. They are going to be as well or betters than stock on a stockish motor and if you opt to up the power they are way better and your not buying twice. I have always had good luck with the uni foam filters and thats what I ran for years with my airbox. I am ditching my box and going to try a big 9" dry filter (overkill)
To me the idea of a self adjusting carb is appealing (though I am open but cautiously and optomistically skeptical) Glad to see you test this out.
I ride from 4000 feet to 13000 feet--from 20 degrees to 100 degrees (no, not the same day) but jetting is a pain to me---Buckeye--if it were so easy why was she still pig rich.
I trust Motergeek that if something significantly better were out there he would probably be doing it---but I am glad to see new people testing new things for out zillas.
