I also had some items on back order and when I called about it the company tossed in some other goodies for free and I received it all with in a week of calling. I was pleased with the service I received. Plus it will make it all the much better when your parts arrive!

I would not let the needles stop me from putting all the new stuff on. They will only take 15-20 minutes to install when they arrive and if you`re shimming anyway,it might be better to shim the stockers as a baseline anyway.

I agree. The jetting is the main issue. The needles may help with some flat spots in the rev range. After jettingmy Kehins to the pod air filters and increased engine demand, there was very little need to do the needles once jetted properly. The Thrux needles provided much needed smoothness and throttle control.

To echo the others on the board. No need to wait for the needles to install the 130 main jets. In fact most people recommend making one change at a time. Also, if you put in the 130's and find you don't really notice that much difference except at full throttle, try puting shims under the stock needles. You can either get the real item from New Bonneville, or just find some really small washers at your local hardware store. Good luck.

Thank you I think I will do what I can & when the needles show up then do them last. they are talking high temps 30 this weekend so still have time to tinker.
