No problem. I can't remember if Paul has a write up on his site or if its the other Nighthawk site, but there is one showing how to do the carb needle washer mod, I highly recommend it if you don't get a jet kit with the adjustable needles. It removes the flat spot that happens around 4K RPM on a stock bike. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
