Pre jetted carbs would be nice, but those would be just under half of my budget for the engine build itself. Ill keep an eye out on ebay for a set of proper used mikunis, jet it to the recommended baseline, and tune it. I was thinking that I would route the pipes in a very similar fashion to how they run stock, I've read somewhere that 33 inches was a good length, but I will also try 29. I don't think cops really give a damn as long as I'm not stunting in a parking lot or some nonsense like that. Griz, those aren't only great engine building tips. That is rock solid life advice, and I agree with every bit of what you said.
