[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 159142, member: 98"] ok the results of the 1000 mile road trip and dft set up .....the bike did really well running the interstate ....and the bikes getting 40mpg plus i didnt figure it all the way out to the exact but it was obvious i was getting over 40mpg...id say the average speed i traveled was 75mph ....but 80 plus was easy and instant like when you wanted to ...the dft perform huge here ....mine has a proggressive linkage mod where the secondary come in sooner ...this really turns thr dft into a performace carb as oppose to economy car carb ....and brings secondary power in wider window of the carbs operation ...this was great move as it paved the way for like sling shot passing on the intersate at speed...as for perforance on the road ..it simply lacked nothing ..... ok on the down side of things ..it seems my last carb mod is not quite one good enough yet ....seems after long period of running at speed gas was getting into my carb air balancer deal and would cause highe idle when that happen ...seems it gets warm enough the gas tends to leak in air tube ive got from from carb to air box sending it into a high idle situation .. so the next move is to improve this ......i am going to take the carb off ..and drill the plug out of the carb base that leads to the gas feed for mix screw and then replug the gas feed above the mix screw so there will be no more leaking there at all .....when the gas is not leaking into the air balancer the bike idles great ..... im very pleased how the carb performed ..now all i have to do is bring my mods up to a competant level of operation :builder: :thanks: [/QUOTE]
