Somehow I feel cheated.
You can hear it's still too lean. I've decided to raise the needles one more notch.

Steve - Re: Nice Car....
Some of today's cars can out- accelerate and easily out top end an old super bike. I've been severely ass-kicked by some of the newer fresh off the lot sports and muscle cars while riding my stock KZ1000CSR, especially if they catch me off guard 30 - 50 mph with the revs down at cruising speeds...by the time I drop the gears, their computers on wheels are accelerating through 100 mph way out in the distance....
A few years ago running my GPz1100 at my local strip (racing for trophy) I got eliminated by an 18 yr. old kid driving dad's 12.0 second 2015 Mustang GT convertible (Dad can I borrow the new car on Sunday? I'll be careful with it...). That barely broken in car was lifting the right front tire off the ground at the starting line...WTF?

Some of the family cars can too. It would have been fun to see though.

There are very few people I would do this for.

I forgot how kids will act up when something important is being done that doesn't include them. Mine did it now she's finding out what I went through. All I can do is support her as best as I can.

I'm going to disconnect the regulator I have on the coils. That may be screwing things up too. Summer can't end soon enough for me. It's BLOODY HOT.
