    You have access to a drill press that is the right size for this small of a bit?

    I've got a 9" (or so) benchtop one. Not sure if it'll work.

    Just by a jet kit. What model carb?
    Assuming its a Keihn being as it's a honda..
    Back in the day, motorcycle shops used to stock kits. I tried in the spring, including some of the local shops that still work on old stuff. Ended up ordering something like this...

    Those choppers from 20 years ago are hitting rock bottom.
    I was in Savannah and saw an old Saxon chopper, big SSand a 6 speed Baker for $2500. My dumb arse had never heard of a Saxon and so I had to research before I pulled the trigger. Well, study long and study wrong.

    One guy that rides with me is on a Bigdog, 280lb solid and a 260 rear. Had some electrical issues we had to work through, but that thing will burn from a roll in 4th. Those old big SS have stupid power levels.

    Stock I believe runs a 72/115 and a 38 slow jet. Tried finding something like that on Amazon with the sizes I want but no dice. I'll try at the dealer down the street this week and see if they have something.

    I know both brands well. Id buy a Saxon all day long for $2500. Bigdogs used their own electrical system/computer to control everything on the bike, headlight, starter, ignition, etc. Over complicated and prone to failure. Mine worked flawlessly for 4yrs till the day I traded it off for a truck and somehow the battery died and everything went to #### on it.
