Doc,
I would be looking for the RT carb jet settings or an RT carb itself but not in california !! and work with that as abase. the easiest carb I found was the model 18L Dt with its fat pipe and superior carb (different casting entirely ) see my patriot pic for the fat pipe look I had it fitted with the supertrap end can and that proved to be a real power house bike with the end plates set at high number 7 or 9 so if I remember right.

i'm not really trying to supe it up any more than the derestricted exhaust and the boost bottle . i just want it to rev all the way up and it's totally hitting a brick wall at 7k in neutral , 6k on the road ....which is right when it starts making power , it sucks .

Doc,
I would still be looking at the RT carb specs though just to give me a base line.
