Funny you would mention the speed shifting thats how I used to drag race my 67 mustang when I had the 4 speed in it except in cars we call it power shifting. Not sure how that will work out on my banshee on pavement but im going to try it out haha. Guess if im far enough forward we'll find out:)  Im planning on upgrading to 28mm or 30mm pwk carbs and V Force reeds in the next month or so. Then i get to jet those all over again but they seem easier to jet and I'll have practice then too! Hope its a improvement over the stock carburetors but I guess i'll never know till I try it out. Thanks for the tips.

Yeah I've always just called it speed shifting. Won me many street exhibitions in my 63 Nova with a Muncie 4 spd. And you hit it, as long as you're forward on the bike you should be able to keep it down. I have had mine come up on me, even when I was forward, when things were just perfect apparently. But then again the street is a different animal. I usually ride sand, and when I ride street it's with dirt tires. so I can usually slip the dirt tires, don't know how street tires would react.

If your shee isn't ported, then the larger carbs will lose hp....also don't dump the clutch on pavement from a dead stop, but you can speed shift after, if it starts to come up into a wheelie, then just grab another gear...

My Bike is ported. Thats why I'm going through this jetting delima haha. It was much easier with the Toomey Pipe and jet kit! I just put the 360 mains in and its totally dark here now so cant take a plug reading. BUT I AM GOING TO RIP IT DOWN THE ROAD REAL QUICK HAHA. If its worse or better I should be able to tell. THat will help me sleep easier haha.

Well I just made a trip down the street and the shee didnt seem to bog at all with 360 mains in it. I think it actually reved a little harder. Need to do a plug test now to verify what all is going on.
