i live in shippensburg, Pa. i'd be willing to sync. your carbs once the weather warms up a bit.
from where you are it would be about a 2 hour ride to my house.

I think the carbs need to be gone through also! I think 1 cylinder runs lean, I tried cleaning them out but not 100% sure if the jets are right. I have the cobra exhaust on the bike (came with it). I love riding this bike but really need it to run to it full potential.

I had no luck finding anybody in my area[ central Alabama] to help me service my driveshaft. I'm about to take it to a dealer.

However, you've been given a lot of good advice and encouragement to do this yourself...so maybe taking it to the dealer is your best shot.
Good luck.

sorry but i'm just not up to doing a whole complete carb job. i think you said you already had them apart. did you adjust the pilots by any chance that woulda made 1 run leaner than the rest. i'd be willing to adjust the pilots and do the sync. but not tear anything apart. i turn wrenches all day long. last thing i want is a major job waiting on me when i get home.
