Thanks for the tip, I did use allen head bolts when I put the carb back together, just forgot to include it on my last post. I'm still looking for metric allenhead bolts in stainless, allen head metric stainless is hard to find in here in the states. Ride Safe

I found mine at Ace Hardware.  In fact, they also carry chrome, which is sweet but expensive.

As a side note, I finally got some decent weather and took her out on the freeway for the first time since I rejetted her.  She has the MAC muffler, K&N stock replacement filter, a Mikuni 155 main, a DJ needle set at the 4th notch and the stock white spacer installed.  Anyway, she still farts occasionally but I find it to be endearing.  The main thing is that I saw a really noticeable increase in mid to top end power (not to mention sounding good).  I was quite impressed with how much better she feels at the 60-75 MPH range.  I still prefer 60-65 but I took her up to 80 and she really felt a lot better than she did at 75 before the filter/muffler/jet changes.  Bottom line: it's well worth it.
