I've decided to do pod filters on my bike and will have to rejet when I do so, so I'm trying to decide between the dynojet kit and the factory pro kit.  They're pretty much the same price, the dynojet comes in different "stages" while the factory pro just includes a couple sizes.  Anybody use either and have good or bad reviews?  the factory pro doesn't require drilling which makes me lean in that direction.

I used the dynojet ket and loved it
I didn't have to drill my carbs when i installed mine

..was it previously jetted?

just wondering?

but Brownwhale - SCCM (SuperChickenCornerMonster) installed my DynoJet Kit - a stage 1 kit - and man it's AWESOME!!! That's all I know about so i can't accurately compare the two, however - I noticed and still notice the difference.

We did end up drilling that plugs out of the carbs to get to the screw - only reason I would think you wouldn't have to do that is either if the bike has been jetted once already or if the screws are not protected by that plug.

the drilling was scary, I mean c'mon...you are drilling into you carbs hahaha...but again...he did it in about 5-6 minutes and flawlessly. It does take a steady hand because you can press to hard and drill through the plug and hit the screw.  And you're not actually drilling into your carbs - you are just drilling out a soft-metal plug - it'll look like the filings in Goldschalger when you are done hahahaha

....highly recommend the procedure!!!

If your deciding factor on which kit to get is worrying about the drilling, let me put your mind at ease.  It's really not that hard.  Like lean said, you're not actually drilling into the carbs, just the metal plugs so you can pull them out and access the mixture screws.  It's a bit nerve-wrecking the first time you do it, but once you actually see what you're doing, it's not that big of a deal.  Seriously.  And if it's still killing you, then bring it down to the shop and I'll do it for you.

Hey, when you guys did your jet kits, did ya have to get new gaskets for the carbs (the ones where they attach to the heads?)? I mean what else did ya have to buy beside the jet kit?

9 times out of 10, you don't need to buy new gaskets.  Just be careful when you take the bowls off and you should be fine.  Also, you're asking about the gasket at the cylinder.  It's better to take the carbs off where they meet the rubber boots and don't take the boots off at all, just leave them on.  Pretty much anything that you need for a jet kit is included in the kit itself.  It even comes with a drill bit and screw.

drilling the plugs is super easy. i did it on my bike. they give you a drill bit and everything. i have a dynojet kit on my bike, works great. i like the fact that it has the adj needle and stuff. i can help you if you want, its super easy.

I'll go ahead ahead and get the dynojet, and probably take you up on that offer

Man, I can't wait to see how it turns out Peter!
