I've tried to get the jetting on my stock carb figured out to no avail. It seems the changes I make have little to no effect. I'm going to buy a 38mm Mikuni flatside and give that a shot. Does anyone have ballpark jetting (slide) specs for that carb?
I'm a taller guy and feel like the bars are too close to me. I've looked for aftermarket top triple clamp with no luck. I did notice the 84 CR has removable mounts. Will that clamp fit? If so maybe I can find some offset mounts.

We make billet clamp sets for the 43mm forks that move the bars up and forward.
Stock: #160 main
Pilot: #75
OEM is jetted for sea level altitude and 20:1 pre-mix ratio.
I ride at 1000-3000 ft elevation (PHX and Tucson) and use 32:1 premix so the stock jetting needs to be leaned out.
I've tried leaner Pilots...#70....#65...#62...and right now, I've got a #60 in it with the mixture screw at 2 turns out for 3000ft altitude.
I tried a #158 main and I'm running a #155 main, now.
I have the stock needle dropped one clip position to lean the mid throttle position (clip raised one slot from the middle).
I'm no expert, but it seems to work fine.
My '83 CR480 top triple is shaped the same, but has removeable, rubber isolated bar mounts. I think that's a CR 450/480/500 thing.
If you want it to feel more modern, get the bar spacers that were previously mentioned.
