wait til you ride it,there will be flat spots everywhere in the rev range,i know this from bitter experience putting filters on my 3tj.i had alternative jets,needles,factory pro stuff and after 3 days i had to give up it drove me mad and and i could have happily burnt the bike.the carbs are designed to run with the airbox that supplies air in a uniform way.save yourself tons of grief you cant jet out the flat spots in the power delivery,and i promise riding something that doesnt carburate properly will make you hate the bike-i wish someone had told me not to bother,but i hope you do get it to run ok whatever you do!
